Objective
These study scholarships aim to provide foreign applicants from the field of Fine Art, Design, Film, Music and Architecture with an opportunity to complete a course of extension studies, without gaining a formal degree or qualification, at a state institution of higher education in Germany.

Duration
Study scholarships are generally awarded for one academic year. In individual cases and upon application, scholarships may be extended.

Value
The DAAD will pay a monthly scholarship of 715 euros plus travel and luggage costs and a health insurance allowance. In addition to these payments, the DAAD will, where appropriate, pay a rent subsidy and family allowance. Tuition fees cannot be covered by the DAAD.

Requirements
As a rule, scholarships for attendance of a course of extension studies are awarded to applicants who have exhausted the training possibilities available to them in their home country and have - as far as possible - concluded these studies with an appropriate degree. Applicants who will already have been in Germany for more than two years when they commence their scholarship-supported studies cannot be considered.
