form is designed in an easy to use format and will
assist us with processing applications more
efficiently. If, for any reason, you cannot use the
online application form, please contact the DAAD
Information Centre Tbilisi and we'll discuss
alternative ways.
Prior to submitting an application, please make sure
that you meet all of the eligibility requirements of the
DAAD scholarship programme to which you wish to
apply. If you have any questions about your
eligibility, please contact the DAAD Information
Centre Tbilisi. You may also contact us if you are
unsure to which funding programme you should
apply.
Please note that your application can be saved only
when the form has been fully completed. This
means that you cannot save a partially completed
form and continue working on it at a later point in
time. The entire form must be completed in one
session. Please also note that the portal will close if
you do not enter any details for more than one hour!
Thus we therefore strongly recommend you first look
through all of the questions and collect any
documents you may need for answering them (e.g.
curriculum vitae, academic certificates etc.) before
you start entering your details.
You must complete all sections of the application
form except for, in some cases, the second part of
section 4 ("Previous stays abroad and career
experience").
Required elements are noted with an asterisk (*).
After you have entered your data and clicked "save",
a confirmation page will follow; please check the
accuracy of your data and from this page you may
click the "edit" button to make any changes; when all
data is complete and correct, click "save" then "Go
back to Main Menu/Overview" and go on to the next
section.
After you have completed the entire form, click the
“send” button. A link to a pdf file with your
application form will come up; you will notice that
you have been assigned an application number near
the top of the first page. In all subsequent
correspondence regarding your application, please
give your full name, the name of the DAAD
scholarship programme to which you have applied
and this application number.
You will need a pdf reader (like Acrobat Reader) to
be able to print out the form. If you have not yet
installed one on your computer, please download
Acrobat Reader (or a similar programme) and install
it before you start your application.
Please remember to print out and sign your
completed application form and to submit it with your
supplemental documents and materials and the
requisite number of copies in one package to the
DAAD Information Centre Tbilisi. Please note that
applications cannot be submitted directly to the
DAAD Head Office in Bonn. You may want to make
an extra copy of your application for your own files.
If you need to make (a) correction(s) after you have
printed out your completed application form, you feel
the choices offered or the space available was not
sufficient for your answer, or you wish to submit
additional information to any of the sections of the
form, we will accept hand-written (typed/word
processed) addenda. Please include your full name,
the DAAD scholarship programme name, and
application number on each page and make the
same number of copies of your addenda as are
required for your application form.
Completion of the online application form does not
constitute a complete application. Your paper
application must be submitted in its entirety to the
DAAD Information Centre Tbilisi or to the DAADLecturer in Kutaisi not later than the relevant
deadline.
