Welcome to the DAAD Fellowship Collab Page: The DAAD Graduate Fellowship allows UCSD UC San Diego to nominate one (1) priority candidate the areas listed below. If you are a student seeking a campus nomination please reach out to your graduate coordinator about submitting a response via the Google Form linked below. If you will be self-nominating, please check out the DAAD Scholarship Database for more opportunities.

Every year, DAAD invitees UCSD UC San Diego to nominate one (1) priority candidate for either two programs:  the Study Scholarship (excluding architecture and artistic fields) and/or Research Grant-One Year Grant programs.

• Study Scholarships (excluding architecture and artistic fields) are available to highly qualified final year undergraduate students or those who have received an undergraduate degree of all disciplines for a full master's degree program at a German university, or for study at a German university as part of a postgraduate or master's degree program completed in the home country.
• Research Grants-One Year Grants are available to highly qualified candidates who have completed a master’s degree or in exceptional cases a bachelor's degree at the latest by the time they begin their grant-supported research in Germany.

They also offer many additional opportunities for students to study or do research in Germany. For more information on the other DAAD funding opportunities please visit their Scholarship Database.

The nominated candidate from UCSD UC San Diego will receive preferential status in the highly competitive selection procedure for these grants. Candidates nominated by DAAD’s partner universities compete in a separate pool with a high probability of being awarded a scholarship. Students are also welcome to apply without a UCSD UC San Diego nomination, but they will run in the open competition with candidates from all over North America.

Although the nominated candidate will enjoy a high priority in the DAAD selection process, please note that the final decision on all grant applications will be made by DAAD’s Selection Committee in New York City. The Selection Committee is an independent group of distinguished US, Canadian, and German scholars representing a cross-section of disciplines and universities. Applicants will be chosen according to DAAD criteria and standards.

Study Scholarships (except the visual and performing arts) are available to highly qualified final year undergraduate students or those who have received an undergraduate degree of all disciplines for a full master's degree program at a German university, or for study at a German university as part of a postgraduate or master's degree program completed in the home country.
