Through its three primary programs - Program 1, Program 2, and the Eastern Europe Program - the Catholic Academic Exchange Service (KAAD) offers fully funded scholarships to students and professionals from the Global South who wish to pursue higher education or research in Germany or their home region. Each is designed to help those who are committed to growth, academic success, and cross-cultural communication.
A Catholic scholarship organization based in Germany, KAAD (Katholischer Akademischer Ausländer-Dienst) collaborates with nations in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. It supports gifted researchers and students from poor countries who are dedicated to using their knowledge to improve their home country.
The KAAD Scholarship Programs offer access to a global academic and spiritual network in addition to financial assistance. KAAD provides a life-changing chance to further your career, give back to your community, and promote global understanding, regardless of your status as a refugee scholar, PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, or master’s student studying in a third nation.
