DAAD AgEcon Scholarships 2025 For Developing Countries
The 2025 DAAD AgEcon Scholarships For Developing Countries are funded by the German Government to support international students seeking to pursue Masters degrees in Germany.
The AgEcon Scholarships are provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under its special initiative “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” (EPOS).
Through the EPOS scholarships, the DAAD supports excellent candidates from developing countries who have a strong academic and professional background.
Scholarship recipients typically have work experience in a public authority, state institution and/or a private company in a developing country.
Therefore, they will have been engaged in the planning and execution of directives and projects with an emphasis on development policies relating to technology, economics and/or social impact.
The 2025 DAAD AgEcon Scholarships offer €9,000 per year to selected candidates from developing countries to study for a Master’s in Agricultural Economics at the University of Hohenheim.
