Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries to Study in Germany
MIPLC is providing full fee waivers to students from developing countries. the Scholarship will offer payments towards health, accident, and liability insurance coverage in Germany, travel allowance (unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source), study and research allowance. It is mandatory to have a two-month German course before the start of the MIPLC LL.M. program (August and September, in Munich or another German city). Since the DAAD scholarship includes a full fee waiver, the candidate must apply simultaneously for MIPLC financial assistance (cf. section 2a). Please refer to the Application Instruction for detailed information. Also, refer to the brochure for “Development-Relayed postgraduate courses“, where MIPLC and DAAD requirements differ, the stricter one applies. Complete applications will be evaluated for admission on a rolling basis. The shortlisted candidates will be invited for a video conference interview taking place in January or February. Based on these interviews, the MIPLC will pre-select the scholars and the DAAD will make the final decision in early March, 2022.
