About The Hild Domin Scholarship Program:
The Federal Foreign Office provides funding for the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which oversees the “Hilde Domin Programme” scholarship program (AA). The initiative supports international students and doctorate candidates who run the risk of being legally or informally denied educational or other privileges in their home countries and gives them the chance to start or finish a study or research degree at a German higher education institution. Students and doctoral candidates who are nominated and approved under the program will be enrolled in degree programs in any subject they choose and in accordance with their individual qualifications.
