What Is The DAAD Young Ambassador Programme?

The DAAD Young Ambassador Programme aims to build a network of former students who can share their experiences of studying in Germany with aspiring applicants. Selected ambassadors will help create awareness about German universities, scholarship opportunities, research programmes, and funding options. The programme will run for two semesters and will begin with a mandatory training workshop.

What Will Selected Ambassadors Do?

During the training session, participants will receive information about Germany's higher education system, research ecosystem, scholarships, and financial aid offered by DAAD. After completing the training, Young Ambassadors will represent DAAD at education events, interact with students interested in studying in Germany, and guide them by sharing their personal academic experiences.

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, applicants must be a citizen of India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, or Sri Lanka, and must have studied, conducted research, or participated in an academic programme in Germany. They must be below 32 years of age as on January 1, 2027, and be willing to attend the Young Ambassadors Training Workshop in November 2026.
