What does KAAD expect from you?
- Above-average performance in studies and research

- Religious and social commitment (activities) and willingness to inter-religious dialogue
- German language skills before starting the studies (KAAD can provide a language course of max. 6 months in Germany).

Africa
Our programme for sub-Saharan Africa is geared towards development of African countries and societies as well as development of qualified individuals.
Young university graduates, who have already taken over responsibility in church and society, should be empowered to continue along this line and do it in an even more qualified way. Beneficiaries of KAAD-scholarships are predominantly from needy families and display academic excellence. The ultimate aim of our scholarship policy is the promotion of so-called “Agents of Change”.
The focus countries in Africa today are: Ghana, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. Uganda and Tanzania are counted to be part of the focus region East Africa, apart from Kenya. There are four Partner Committees which are also responsible for the adjoining countries of the above mentioned. In addition, there are local partner bodies, or contact persons in the partner countries of Cameroon and Nigeria.
In the focus countries Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe, there is – within the S1-programme – also the possibility for Master-scholarships at local universities (so called “in-country scholarships”). The in-country scholars together with the alumni are convening in local KAAD-networks that aim at making an impact in church and society of their home countries.
Interested graduates can download the application questionnaire. It is then to be filled and sent back. For detailed information about application requirements and procedures, we recommend to read the Frequently Asked Questions.

Dear sir madam
I am a graduate of Addis Ababa University with BSc Degree in Medical Laboratory technology with distinction 3.32 in 2006. Since then I am assigned by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health in a health center and I am working as a medical laboratory technologist. I am serving my country with great motivation.
Recently I took IELTS certificate from British Counsel with overall band score of 6.0 and minimum individual score of 5.0. I am now seeking your generous scholarship support to help me continue my academia in MSc in Public Health, Clinical Haematology, Clinical laboratory Science or any other health realated discipline. I believe these courses are very important to improve the quality of our health service.
If I am given the opportunity, I will be committed to play my part for the health sector development of my country with this qualification, when I get back with this pretegious gift from you. Helping me is helping millions of Ethiopians, as we all know many Ethiopians are lacking primary health care services, that is heartbreaking. I am with great motivation to help my country achieve MDGs.
I feel greatly hopeful to request your honorable offer and I believe I am suitable candidate for your list of scholarship recipients. I wish you communicate me soon for further preparations.
With warm regards!

It was a pending issue that our present world is suffering from a rapid climate change. Whatever the cause of the change and wherever it emanates from, it requires a swift response so that we can survive our common globe for tomorrow.
Obviously, the task of redressing the present climate change of the world necessarily requires the joint speech of professionals in the area, of which the role of lawyers speaking for the right of the environment would play a significant importance. The legal personality of the natural environment and the rights of future generations need to be protected today.
Therefore, meeting the aforementioned objectives requires legal professionals having the relevant knowledge in the field under consideration. Hence, I politely request your institute to facilitate my academic progress in the area of ENVIRONMENTAL LAW or RELATED FIELD at Masters Level.
With Best Regards!!!
