Scholarships for IUSD Stuttgart or IUSD Cairo
Unfortunately, neither the University of Stuttgart nor the IUSD program can award scholarships directly. Students from previous cohorts have received scholarships from various funders. There are various individual scholarship opportunities through German and international institutions as well as through institutions in the applicants' home countries.
You may wish to apply for a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) scholarship. This must be done approximately one year before you begin your studies in Germany through the German Embassy in your home country. Please check the homepage of the DAAD for first information.
Please check carefully whether you meet the criteria of eligibility before you file an application.
Furthermore, the Office of International Affairs of the University of Stuttgart has gathered some information on living expenses and how to find funding for studies: read more here
