Applicants from eligible countries in the DAAD scholarship database, including Uganda, can apply. Doctoral candidates should normally have begun their doctorate no more than three years before the deadline, while postdoctoral applicants should normally have completed the doctorate no more than four years before the deadline. Applicants who have lived in Germany for more than 15 months at the application deadline are normally ineligible.
DAAD Research Grants in Germany support doctoral candidates and early-career postdoctoral researchers who wish to undertake a defined research project at a German university or recognised research institution. Doctoral research visits can be supported for two to twelve months and early postdoctoral projects for two to six months.
Benefits
The grant provides a monthly DAAD scholarship payment appropriate to the applicant\'s academic status, insurance coverage, a travel allowance unless covered by another source and possible additional allowances under DAAD rules. The programme supports research rather than completion of an entire degree programme.
Requirements
Applicants need a convincing research proposal and schedule, curriculum vitae, academic certificates and transcripts, confirmation from an academic host in Germany, language evidence appropriate to the project and other documents specified in the DAAD scholarship database. Documents not in German or English require translations.
How to apply
Identify an appropriate German research host and obtain confirmation of supervision or hosting. Register in the DAAD application portal, complete the online application, upload the research proposal, CV, academic records, host confirmation and required supporting documents and submit by 2026-11-16 for the next published selection round.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
