Bridge Scholarships for Palestinians in Germany

DEADLINE 15 October 2024 ::: Students, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and university lecturers from the Palestinian Territories can apply for a scholarship to start or continue their studies or research in Germany.
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) administers the scholarship programme “Bridge Scholarships for Palestinians in Germany” with funds from the Federal Foreign Office. As part of the programme, qualified Palestinians, who are in Germany and not able to return home due to the current situation, will receive the possibility to establish or improve their academic qualifications.

 

The aim of the programme is to support students from the Palestinian Territories – especially from the Gaza Strip – with bridging scholarships while starting or continuing their bachelor’s or master’s degree at a state or state-recognised higher educational institute in Germany. In addition, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and university lecturers can receive funding as part of their doctorate or a research project at a state or state-recognised university or nonuniversity
research institute in Germany. These grants are intended to enable them to initiate or continue their academic prospects in safety and with the support of their host institution. In the long term, the aim is to integrate them into the education and labour market in Germany, if it is not possible for them to return home.

Funding is possible for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of four months. Funding can start on 01 December 2024 at the earliest and must be completed by 31 March 2025 at the latest. The application deadline is October 15, 2024.
