Applications are open for the 2021 DAAD Helmut Schmidt Scholarship- Fully Funded. The application deadline is 31st July 2021 and is open to all nationalities.

The 2021 DAAD Helmut Schmidt Programme (known as Public Policy and Good Governance) supports future leaders from developing countries (see list of countries), who want to promote democracy and social justice in their home countries. The program, which is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, offers the chance to acquire a Master’s degree in Master programs of particular relevance for the social, political and economic development in the students’ countries of origin.

In the light of the principles of Good Governance, highly qualified graduates with a first academic degree are being educated in political science, law, economics and administration and prepared for future leading positions in their home countries.
