In partnership with DAAD, it offers MIPLC-DAAD Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries. If you would like to apply for the scholarship offered in this context, please note that several special conditions apply.

Applications for 2020/21 MIPLC-DAAD Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries will be accepted from 1 December 2019 through 30 June, 2020.
