The amount of money paid out through a scholarship is usually calculated to cover normal living expenses. Even if the sum may at first appear high to someone living outside of Germany, you shouldn't forget that the cost of living is high in Germany, and it's very likely that there won't be a lot of money left at the end of the month. Also, if the person receiving the scholarship takes on a part time job they have to report this to the organization providing the scholarship. And that organization will then usually subtract the amount earned from the grant.

The selection process for awarding DAAD scholarships is based on the principle of academic self-government. Funding decisions for DAAD programmes are generally made by independent academic Selection Committees. These play a central role in the work of the DAAD. The DAAD would like to thank everybody who meets an applicant's request for a report to accompany their DAAD scholarship application. These reports, along with certificates documenting the applicant's academic achievements and the applicant's description of the study or research project, form an important decision-making basis for the Selection Committee's scholarship award recommendation
