DAAD Leadership for Africa Scholarship West and Central Africa
Offered by German Academic Exchange Service
About this scholarship
The DAAD Leadership for Africa Scholarship West and Central Africa supports highly qualified refugees and graduates from Cameroon, Senegal, and Togo who want to pursue master's study in Germany. The official DAAD page states that the scholarship holder can choose a suitable master's degree programme at a public or state-recognized university in Germany starting in winter term 2026. Eligible refugee applicants must hold refugee status granted before April 2, 2024, have a country of asylum in Cameroon, Senegal, or Togo, and have completed a bachelor's degree. Graduates from Cameroon, Senegal, or Togo may also apply if they fulfill the qualifications for master's study in Germany and the call requirements. The award is recorded as full funding because DAAD scholarship programmes provide structured scholarship support for master's study and an accompanying programme, but amount_value is null because monthly benefit details depend on the full call document. Applicants from medicine may apply only for public health or biomedical master-related programmes, not a master's in medicine.
