Further information Confirmation of a scholarship – Admission to university Confirmation of a scholarship does not automatically guarantee admission to one of the universities. The respective university decides whether or not to offer scholarship holders a place. In most cases, applicants are required to take an entrance examination. Please inform yourself in time about admission requirements and application deadlines and interview dates at your chosen university, and bear in mind that these may be several months before the planned start of your studies or even before the DAAD awards the scholarship. We cannot cover the costs of the entrance examination. A Scholarship Award Letter from the DAAD is only valid if you have been admitted to study at the host university named in your application. You can apply for the DAAD scholarship before you receive the admission letter. You will need to hand in the admission letter in case of a scholarship confirmation before the scholarship starts.
