Funding programmes for alumni

Our alumni programmes provide ongoing support to former DAAD scholarship holders and offer them various funding opportunities within the global DAAD alumni network.

The programmes are usually adressing DAAD alumni. The Alumni Special Projects are targeted at so called Germany alumni.

The DAAD defines DAAD alumni as individuals who have verifiably received at least three months of individual funding from the DAAD.

The DAAD defines Germany alumni as foreign students who have usually studied, conducted research or worked at a German university for at least three months and who are now working abroad again.

The alumni programmes each have their own specific criteria.
