About This Opportunity

This scholarship programme provides grants for highly qualified Colombian graduates to complete doctoral degrees at German universities. The funding is co-sponsored by COLFUTURO and DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst). Graduates receive comprehensive support including intensive German language courses in Germany (up to 6 months for doctoral candidates), travel costs, monthly scholarship payments, health insurance coverage, and various allowances. The programme is specifically designed for Colombian nationals who have completed a master's degree or equivalent qualification at the time of application. The scholarship is awarded for one year initially, with opportunities to apply for extensions reviewed by the DAAD selection committee. The total funding period covers approximately 3-4 years for doctoral studies. The contribution awarded by COLFUTURO functions as a scholarship credit that may need to be repaid in full or in part, based on COLFUTURO's sponsorship programme guidelines. Candidates are selected by a joint committee of Colombian and German scientists and academics, ensuring rigorous evaluation of applicants.
