DAAD-Grants for GRIAT-Students

For the upcoming winter term 2022/23 the German Academic Exchange Service – DAAD will provide several grants to GRIAT-students to promote studying at the German GRIAT-partner universities, as well as to support students at GRIAT during their studies in Kazan.

There will be three different grants available:

1. Sur Place and Third Country Scholarships

These are 18 scholarships for the first and second semesters (in Kazan), starting this year on September 1^st, 2022 until August 31^st, 2023. The scholarship rate is 300 euros/month. The scholarship is for foreign students (third countries) and for Russian students. For six foreign students is also financed a subsidy for tuition fees in Kazan (850 euros/semester).

Required documents for application:

• Bachelor degree certificate (translated into English or German)
• Breakdown of academic achievements to date
• Motivation letter
• Curriculum vitae in tabular form including proof of social commitment (if present) and language skills
• Confirmation of application to a study course offered at GRIAT
• Data protection declaration signed 

The selection is based on merit criteria and is composed of grades achieved during the bachelor's degree program, motivation to study, and volunteer service.

Important note: In contrast to the regulations of last year, if a student successfully has applied for the Sur Place scholarship, it is now possible to apply for the annual scholarship in Germany as well. If a scholarship holder discontinues the sponsored study period for reasons that cannot be explained and for which he/she alone is responsible or if the scholarship holder has a poor academic performance, the funds already paid out for this scholarship holder must be paid back by him/her individually to the TU Ilmenau.
