DAAD Scholarship Opportunity

The Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), supports
graduating seniors and graduate students for study or research in
Germany in a broad range of academic disciplines. For Study
Scholarships and Research Scholarships Indiana University enjoys
special status with DAAD and each year applicants from IU receive
extra consideration. Typically up to four students are selected
from IU for these scholarships.

Program Descriptions:

• Study Scholarships are available to highly qualified
graduating seniors (fourth-year students in Canada), recent
graduates and graduate students of all disciplines to do independent
study in Germany or to complete a full Master?s degree. The Study
Scholarship is for 10 months and must take place during the German
academic year (October1, 2009 to July 31, 2010). Students in degree-
granting courses in Germany may receive an extension of up to one
year for Master?s courses. All scholarship holders must take
courses at a German university.

• Research Scholarships are available to highly qualified
PhD candidates, and post-doctoral researchers for research at
universities or institutes in Germany. Individuals wishing to
complete a doctoral program in Germany should also apply for a
Research Grant which can be extended up to three years. Young post-
doctoral researchers and assistant professors with less than two
years of teaching experience are also encouraged to apply. All
academic disciplines are eligible. Research grants can either be
short-term (1 ? 6 months) or long-term (7 ? 10 months). Short-term
grants must occur between June 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010. Long-
term grants must occur within the time frame of the German academic
year (October 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010).
