DAAD Helmut Schmidt Fully Funded Masters Scholarships for Public Policy in Germany, 2020
The prestigious and competitive Fully Funded Master’s Scholarships for Public Policy and Good Governance – PPGG by DAAD Germany: Helmut-Schmidt-Programme 2020 is open now for applications. Since 2009, the DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Programme (known as Public Policy and Good Governance) is supporting future leaders from Africa, Central and Latin America, Asia, from countries in the Middle East as well as from the Ukraine (see list of countries), who want to promote democracy and social justice in their home countries. Fresh candidates and experienced people can apply for DAAD Scholarships in Germany.
This programme is designed to further qualify future leaders in politics, law, economics, and administration according to the principles of good governance and to prepare them in a practice-oriented course for their professional life.
