Will the scholarships for Germany and Austria also cover my visa fees and flight tickets?
Many Germany and Austria scholarships cover flights and sometimes visa fees, but coverage varies by programme. DAAD master's scholarships typically include a monthly stipend, a travel allowance, insurance and a one-time study allowance, while OeAD awards often cover insurance and a monthly allowance but may exclude travel or visa costs.
Many scholarships for Germany and Austria do cover flights and sometimes visa application fees, but not every programme includes both. Always read the specific scholarship terms before you assume anything is covered.
What typical awards include
| Country and scheme | Typically covered |
|---|---|
| Germany, DAAD Study Scholarships for Master's Studies | Monthly stipend, travel allowance for flights, insurance and a one-time study allowance; some programmes also cover visa fees |
| Austria, OeAD awards such as the Ernst Mach Grant | Monthly allowance and insurance; OeAD awards may not cover travel or visa costs |
Watch the fine print
Visa fee coverage is not universal: DAAD coverage varies by programme, and OeAD awards may not cover travel or visa costs. Some awards include it and others do not, so confirm this on the official page of the scholarship you are targeting.
My Advice
Make a list of costs you expect to pay yourself, such as visa fees and flights, and tick them off against each scholarship's terms. Keep a small reserve for anything the award does not cover.
