We are KAAD
As a scholarship organisation of the Catholic Church in Germany, KAAD supports young professionals from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe through academic (postgraduate) studies and research stays.
The aim is to enable them to take on leadership roles in the social and cultural development of their country.
Social responsibility and church commitment are cornerstones of our support policies.
