Boards and Cooperators of KAAD
General Assembly
In our General Assembly the directors of the large Church-sponsored relief organizations cooperate with representatives of the dioceses and of the campus ministry.
President
The institution is headed by a President and it acts as a clearing agency of the German Bishops' Conference for all matters concerning foreign students and scientists in Germany.
Academic Council
The Academic Council, the body that selects scholars, is composed of internationally distinguished university professors and two representatives of the Church.
Liaison Professors and Campus Ministry
At larger universities KAAD is supported by Liaison Professors who assist scholarship holders on academic as well as personal matters. From time to time they invite scholarship holders to informal conversations on academic topics or to social gatherings, often in close cooperation with the local campus ministry. By doing so, they greatly contribute to creating a sense of community among KAAD-scholarship holders.
The campus ministries - Katholische Hochschulgemeinden (KHG) und Katholische Studierendengemeinden (KSG) - are our partners at each university. They offer advice, company, and an attractive semester program in a friendly and international atmosphere.
KAAD-Alumni today

Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid (Egypt)
It takes just a quick encounter with Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid to feel that communication is her passion. Being a graduate in German Literature, a KAAD scholarship offered her the opportunity to start a formation as a professional interpreter in Germany. Just before the revolution in early 2011, she had returned back home. Her position as an editor of the bilingual online magazine "Transit" issued by the Goethe Institute in Cairo is now giving her the chance to add momentum to the discourse on the social and cultural transition of her country. "Transit" features articles, blogs and commentaries by "facebook generation" authors from all over the Middle East and North Africa.
