Each scholarship award covers tuition and other academic fees, and living allowances for a 22-month program. The scholarship’s value is 24.837 EURO (~THB 937,800) per scholarship holder, divided in 12.723 EURO (nearly THB 480,400) for the first year of studies (12 months); renewable for the second year depending on satisfactory academic performance at 12.114 EURO (nearly THB 457,400) for the second and last year (10 months).

The following criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for the scholarship:

• Be a bonafide national of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar or Vietnam.
• Applicants should be not more than 28 years of age when applying.
• They are requested to hold a Bachelor degree with a minimum GPA of 3.00/4.00 (or equivalent).
• Additionally, a TOEFL of at least 550 (paper based) or 213 (computer based) or IELTS of at least 6.0 is mandatory. DAAD does not accept institutional TOEFL reports.
