The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) promotes the scientific training of foreigners in the Federal Republic of Germany, both morally and practically, by means of scholarships. This support gives foreign university graduates the opportunity of gaining a German university degree, of obtaining a doctorate, or of improving their professional knowledge through post-graduate studies.

In this way, the KAS wishes to contribute to the education and training of junior scientists who will then fill executive and specialized posts in government and society, particularly in the areas of science, economy, politics, and administration, media and cultural affairs in their mother countries as well as in international organizations.

General Basic Requirements

To be eligible for support, the following general requirements must be fulfilled:

• applicants must be no older than 30 and hold a B.A. or M.A.;
• active socio-political involvement in the mother country;
• above-average scientific or professional qualifications;
• reliability of character;
• adequate command of the German language;
• willingness to put the knowledge and skills gained during the period of support to use the benefit of the mother country.

It is not possible to support studies in the fields of medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine.

Application forms for the next round of applications (applicable for studies starting in the summer term of 2008) can be obtained from the KAS office in Jerusalem. Applications must be sent to KAS until September 15, 2007.
