DAAD CAP Matching Funds Scholarship

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Dr. Carl Arthur Pastor Foundation, CAP for short, provide German Universities with matching funds for scholarships for international students.

The scholarship is to make it possible for students to fully concentrate on their studies and prepare for exams.

Grant recipients will be selected by an allocation commission. As a rule, the funding period is up to five months.

Students who have received a DAAD degree completion grant is the past are not eligible to apply for a second time.

Application period from July 1 until July 31, 2014
