DAAD Offers Tuition-Free Master's Scholarships for Africans

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has opened applications for a fully funded master's scholarship program aimed at citizens and qualifying refugees from three African countries: Cameroon, Senegal, and Togo. This initiative offers eligible candidates the opportunity to pursue a tuition-free master's degree at a public or state-recognized university in Germany.

Applicants must hold a completed bachelor's degree, and the master's programs are set to begin in the winter semester of 2026, which runs from September or October that year. The scholarship package includes a language course in Germany lasting up to six months prior to the university program, information seminars on applying to German universities, pre-departure preparation and guidance, and orientation support during the language course period.

This comprehensive support is designed to facilitate the transition for eligible candidates from the application stage to their arrival in Germany.
