International Agriculture Economics Postgraduate Courses
July 26, 2008
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships is available for outstanding AgEcon candidates from developing countries. These scholarships are provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under its special initiative “Postgraduate Courses for Professionals with Relevance to Developing Countries”. The DAAD initiative aims at providing academically educated young professionals from developing countries with further specialised studies. The typical scholarship holder will come either from a public authority or state or private company in a developing country and as such be engaged in the planning and execution of directives and projects with emphasis on development policy.
DAAD scholars will receive a monthly scholarship of EUR 715 over the two-year AgEcon Programme period and a two-months intensive German language course before the Programme start. The German language course is an integral part of the DAAD initiative. It takes place in the months of August and September at the Goethe-Institute in Mannheim (Germany) or a similar institution, where full-board lodging is provided. After successful completion of the German language course, DAAD scholars relocate to Stuttgart-Hohenheim for the AgEcon Programme start in October.
Selection Criteria
DAAD scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Only developing country nationals with at least four years of full-time university education and an outstanding bachelor degree can apply. In addition to the general AgEcon entry requirements, scholarship applicants need to have a minimum of two years of relevant professional experience. The graduation from university should not be longer than 3 years ago.
Scholarship Application
Scholarship applicants should use the official DAAD application form, which can be downloaded here:
Unlike stated in the DAAD form, the application should be sent directly to the AgEcon Coordination office at the University of Hohenheim. The DAAD scholarship application should be sent together with the other application documents for the AgEcon Programme (see Admission Requirements).
In addition to the documents required for AgEcon Programme admission, applicants for a DAAD scholarship have to describe their current work situation at the time of application and submit a letter of reference from their employer, ideally guaranteeing re-employment after completion of the AgEcon Master Programme.
The application deadline for DAAD scholarships is December 1 for the AgEcon Programme start in October of the next year (note that the German language course for DAAD scholars already starts in early August, as detailed above). Incomplete application packages, or applications that reach the University of Hohenheim after December 1, cannot be considered.
Applicants not selected for a DAAD scholarship will still be considered for AgEcon Programme admission, if the documents are complete. The number of scholarships available is much smaller than the number of AgEcon Programme participants, so that applicants should also look for other sources of funding. Of course, AgEcon participants (or prospective participants) can also apply for scholarships other than those described above.
However, such other scholarship applications should be sent directly to the awarding organisations (Scholarship Leaflet).
