Dear Colleagues and Partners,

The DAAD Regional Office for Africa is pleased to inform you that the call for the next intake for the DAAD-funded scholarship programme "Leadership for Africa in East Africa" is now open!

This year the targeted East African countries are Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda. 

This unique scholarship programme funded by the German Foreign Office aims to support the academic qualification and advancement of young African refugees and national scholars from selected countries at higher education institutions in Germany.

The programme offers full scholarships for Master's studies in Germany to qualified applicants in all fields of study except for medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, law, fine arts and architecture.

All “Leadership for Africa” scholarship holders benefit from a complementary training programme in good governance, civil society, and career development. The mandatory programme must be completed in addition to the regular studies.
