Always confirm the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.

Eligibility

Master's and PhD students (all medical students for the medical fellowship) in drug discovery, agriculture, medical sciences, or climate and health. Students outside Germany must place at a German institution; those in Germany must go abroad.

How to apply

  1. Read the eligibility rules on the official page: nationality, degree level, subject, age, minimum CGPA and any test scores (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GAT or HAT).
  2. Make a document checklist early: transcripts, degree, passport or CNIC, test results, a statement of purpose and usually two or three recommendation letters.
  3. Ask your referees at least three weeks before the deadline, and send them your CV and a short note on what to mention.
  4. Write the statement of purpose for this scholarship: your goal, why this programme, and what you will do afterwards.
  5. Submit through the official portal only. Scholarships never require you to pay an agent to “guarantee” selection.
