The KAAD Scholarship 2026 offers full financial support for international students from developing and emerging countries to pursue Master’s, PhD, or short-term postdoctoral research at German universities. Benefits include living expenses, accommodation, health insurance, German language training, academic seminars, networking, and spiritual support. Scholars are expected to return home to contribute to national development.
Applicants must be from developing or emerging countries, hold a university degree, have relevant experience, be Catholic or Christian (or recommended by Catholic partners), and intend to study or research in Germany. They must commit to returning home after studies.
