What Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung International Scholarship Programme actually covers.
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) International Scholarship Programme supports outstanding international students and doctoral candidates from non-EU countries who wish to pursue Bachelor's, Master's, postgraduate, or PhD programmes at German universities. The scholarship provides stipends of up to €992 per month for Masters students and up to €1,400 per month for doctoral candidates, along with a health insurance subsidy of up to €120 per month. Additional allowances are available for families. The KAS is one of Germany's leading political foundations, closely associated with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and committed to promoting democracy, the rule of law, and social market economy principles. The Foundation provides not only financial support but also an extensive programme of academic, cultural, and leadership activities. African applicants are particularly welcome, with regional selection interviews conducted through KAS offices including the Nairobi office covering Kenya, Uganda/South Sudan, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. The scholarship supports scholars who share KAS values and demonstrate both academic excellence and commitment to social and political engagement.
