Research Grants for PhD Students and Young Academics

Postdocs can also refer to the funding opportunities offered by the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation.

Duration:

Support for full doctoral programmes in Germany is based on a programme length of three years; if foreign graduates first have to qualify for admission to a doctoral programme, then grants can be awarded for a period of four years.

Even when support has been awarded for a full doctoral programme, that award will initially be limited to a maximum of one year.

Extensions then depend on whether or not the evaluation finds the previous award period to have been successfully completed.

Value:

Depending on the award holder's academic level, the DAAD will pay a monthly award of 750 euros (graduates holding a first degree) or 1,000 euros (doctoral candidates).

As a rule, the scholarship additionally includes certain payments towards health insurance cover in Germany.

Furthermore, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
