The DAAD initiative aims at providing academically educated young professionals from developing countries with further specialized studies. The typical scholarship holder will come either from a public authority, a state institution, or a private company in a developing country and as such be engaged in the planning and execution of directives and projects with an emphasis on development policy.

DAAD scholars will receive a monthly stipend of EUR 850 over the two-year AgEcon program period and will do a two-month intensive German language course before the program starts. The German language course is an integral part of the DAAD initiative. It takes place in the months of August and September at a Language Center in Germany.

How To Apply

Download, fill and sign the official DAAD application form and make sure to prepare all required documents as described on the DAAD program website

Unlike stated in the DAAD scholarship application form, please scan and email the application for the DAAD scholarship (as PDF files) to agecon@uni-hohenheim.de.
Professors and employers can also be requested to email the “Letters of recommendation/reference” directly to the same email address.
Please upload all the required application documents for admission into the AgEcon program and make sure to fill out the online application. The online application portal is open for applications for the winter semester by the middle of November of the previous year.

In addition to the documents required for AgEcon program admission, you have to describe your current work situation at the time of application and submit a letter of reference from your employer, confirming the exact duration of employment and, ideally, guaranteeing re-employment after completion of the AgEcon Master’s program.

To be considered for the DAAD scholarship, you MUST be currently employed! If you aren’t able to prove to us that you have at least the required 2 years of relevant professional work experience, then you are NOT qualified for the DAAD scholarship. In this case, you are advised to apply as a “self-sponsored” applicant. The requirement of two years of professional work experience refers to the time of the start of the scholarship period. This means that it is not absolutely necessary to have already completed two years of professional experience at the time of applying. However, these two years MUST be completed before you come to Germany.
