What is the role of DAAD scholarship in covering tuition fees and living expenses in Germany for a Master's?
19 Jun 2026 · Answered by Pallavi Attri · 1 min read
The DAAD scholarship provides strong support for living expenses in Germany but does not cover tuition fees.
- Living expenses: Master's students receive a monthly stipend of €992, plus health, accident, and personal liability insurance.
- Travel allowance: A one-time payment helps with travel to and from Germany.
- Study allowance: €460/year for academic materials.
- Additional benefits: Possible rent subsidy or family allowance in special cases.
Most public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees, but if your program does, the DAAD scholarship will not cover this cost. For more details on eligibility or application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
