DAAD AgEcon Scholarships 2025

DAAD AgEcon Scholarships: The German government provides funding through the DAAD AgEcon Scholarships 2025 for Developing Countries to assist foreign students wishing to study for master’s degrees in Germany.

The DAAD AgEcon Scholarships

Under its special project “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” (EPOS), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers the AgEcon Scholarships.

The DAAD provides support to deserving candidates with a solid academic and professional background who are from poor countries through the EPOS scholarships.

The majority of scholarship recipients have worked in a public authority, a state institution, a private company, or a developing country; as a result, they have experience planning and implementing projects with a focus on development policies that have an impact on technology, economics, and/or society.

Benefits of DAAD AgEcon Scholarships

Recipients of the DAAD University of Hohenheim AgEcon Scholarship will not have to pay tuition for the first two years of the Master of Agricultural Economics program.

In addition to travel expenses to and from Germany, health insurance, a monthly living stipend, and research funds are all provided (for more information, visit the EPOS webpage).

Prior to the start of the program, DAAD scholars will complete a two-month intensive German language course and earn a monthly stipend of EUR 750 from AgEcon Scholarships.
