Please Note: If your stay is eligible for funding under another DAAD scholarship programme, such as “Lehramt.International” or “Kurzstipendien für Praktika im Ausland”, we cannot accept an application for PROMOS. Please find out whether one of the programmes is suitable for you and apply first (or in parallel if necessary) for the appropriate DAAD programme. Should you receive a rejection in the corresponding DAAD programme your stay might be eligible for PROMOS funding.
