About this opportunity
The Hilde Domin Programme enables students and doctoral candidates who are at risk of being denied educational or other rights in their country of origin to pursue a Master\'s or doctoral degree in Germany. The September-October 2026 application period is for studies planned to begin in the 2027/28 winter semester.
Benefits
DAAD currently provides EUR 992 per month for Master\'s students or EUR 1,400 per month for doctoral candidates, health, accident and personal liability insurance, a travel allowance based on country of origin or residence, and where applicable a two-, four- or six-month preparatory German-language course and additional financial benefits. Funding normally lasts up to 24 months for a Master\'s degree and up to 48 months for a doctorate.
Requirements
The nominating organisation submits a nomination and risk-description form. Candidates who pass DAAD\'s plausibility assessment are invited to submit the formal scholarship application, including academic qualifications and documentation of the risk situation. Admission to the intended German degree programme is a separate process.
How to apply
Secure nomination from an eligible Germany-based institution or organisation by 2026-09-15. DAAD reviews the nomination and invites suitable nominees to apply through the DAAD portal. Invited candidates must submit their complete scholarship application between 2026-09-17 and 2026-10-15 and later apply separately for admission to an appropriate German university programme.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
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.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
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.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
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.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
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.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
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.
