Admission and Scholarship in Germany (Part B)

In Part A, we discussed everything you need to know about Germany and why Germany is a very nice place to study, as well as work.

Check here:

Tag your friends here, while you enjoy Part B.
The pathways to Msc and Ph.D. fully funded scholarships in Germany are:

a. DAAD Program: This is the largest scholarship body in Germany, and it has many scholarships embedded within it. If you want Germany, the DAAD website should be opened on your computer tab.
The DAAD scholarship for 2021 is already opened. Click this link to see the various DAAD packages: daadscholarship.com/daad-scholarsh…

The scholarship covers almost all fields: Engineering and Related Sciences, Mathematics, Regional and Urban Planning, Agricultural and Forest Sciences
Natural and Environmental Sciences, Medicine/Public Health, Social Sciences, Education and Law, Media Studies, Development Cooperation, Economic Sciences/Business Administration/Political Economics.

To check the eligibility, Program Period, Scholarship Coverage,
Eligible Countries and How to Apply, Step by Step Application and Selection Procedure for DAAD Scholarship and Why Study in Germany, take time to read this link: scholarshiproar.com/daad-scholarsh…

The link explains everything. Let us know if you have difficulty understanding anything
in the link.

Of course, you should know that scholarship is very competitive because it's a public scholarship.

B. PTDF in Partnership with DAAD: If you are from Nigeria, you should be aware of the famous PTDF scholarship. Read more about it here:
scholarship.ptdf.gov.ng/guidelines.

The link shows approved courses and the countries you can apply to.

After you must have met the eligibility criteria for PTDF Scholarship, the body then hands you over to DAAD where will you be further screened.
My friend got Msc fully funded scholarship via this route from Nigeria.

C. DAAD Scholarships within the University: Remember that I said in Part A that schools may tell you about scholarships as an international student. So, if you can find your way to be in the school by using
a block account or sponsorship letter as explained in Part A, you may be eligible for this.

D. Heinrich Boll Stiftung Scholarship for Undergraduate, Graduates and Ph.D. Students: The Heinrich Böll Foundation grants scholarships to approximately 1,200 undergraduates, graduates,
and doctoral students of all subjects and nationalities per year, who are pursuing their degree at universities, universities of applied sciences (‘Fachhochschulen’), or universities of the arts (‘Kunst-/Musikhochschulen’).

However, you must know how to speak German.
E. DLGS Fellowship: This is for people who already had a master's degree and have an innovative research idea to conduct as part of DLGS. Check this link to understand how to apply, current call, selection process, as well as FAQs

dlgs-dresden.de/application
F. Erasmus Mundus Scholarship in Europe: This link explains everything you need to know about the Erasmus Mundus scholarship:forigen.com/erasmus-mundus….

The scholarship is currently opened, and it's fully funded.

You will also understand the duration, benefits and step-by-step
guide that explains how to use this form.

G. Using the Professor's route: This is another very good method of getting a scholarship where you have to look for Professors, send email to them and get the funding as we have always explained.

That ends Part B of this thread.
In Part C, I will focus more on what is called 'Structured' and 'Unstructured' Ph.D. scholarship and some more tips about Germany.

We then move to Admission and Scholarship in Poland.

Polish scholarship opens in February 2021

Content of a good SOP (Episode 4)

Today, we will discuss how to conclude SOP.

If you missed past episodes, kindly check this:

In your last paragraph, you should think about the following:
1. Discuss what you intend to achieve during the Msc/PhD program. You need to let the admission committee understand that you have a target. This means that you must have a specific research interest or idea you think may be explored as discussed with your proposed supervisor
mentioned in the previous paragraphs. If you don't need to have a supervisor, then you should mention potential supervisors you aim to work with.

2. Discuss your immediate plans after the program. Your plan should either be to implement the things you intend to learn in

Content of a good SOP (Episode 3)

I'm sure you must have read episodes 1 and 2. Check here to see:



Ok, you also need to jot the following points:

1. Your work experience: If your present work is related to your research experience, please highlight
it and explain. If it does not, you don't need to mention it. What of your Internship? What did you learn there? And how do you think the experience can help your application? You should be able to mention an epiphany or a scenario in your work or Internship that made
you understand some concepts. Then make sure you align the concept with your application.

2. Research Experience: If your undergraduate work is published, this will be a huge boost. If it's not, try to discuss with your supervisor about it. There are FREE publishing websites.
