Scholarship Programs
Scholarship Program 1 is addressed to post-graduates and to academics who already gained professional experience and who are interested in postgraduate studies (or research stays) in Germany. This program is administered by regional partner committees, staffed by university professors and church representatives. Normally documents are submitted to the committee of the applicant’s home country.
In Scholarship Program 2 we sponsor advanced foreign students from developing countries who are already enrolled in a German university. Scholarship candidates must be proposed by the corresponding Campus Ministry.
The Eastern-Europe-Program – also administered by regional partner committees – focuses mainly on shorter study or research stays in Germany. Normally we expect that applicants reside in their home countries at the time of applying to KAAD through the regional partner committee.

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.
