GoEast! DAAD Scholarships for Students from Germany for HSE Summer University 2020

Since 2015, the DAAD has provided an opportunity for students to study at HSE Summer University. For summer 2020, eight scholarships have been allocated for students from Germany to enroll in the Summer University. The names of scholarship recipients will be announced in May.

Through its GoEast initiative, the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) is encouraging more and more students from Germany to complete their academic studies in countries in Central-Eastern, South- Eastern, and Eastern Europe, as well as in CIS.

GoEast Summer Schools programme is part of the GoEast initiative. It promotes the participation of German students in summer schools in abovementioned countries.

What’s Covered

The DAAD offers partial scholarships which include:

  • travel expenses (rates differ by country)
  • scholarship (residence expenses)
  • a maximum amount of 650€ for reimbursement of participation expenses.

A reasonable personal contribution for expenses is expected from the scholarship holders.

Please note that the scholarships will cover only Moscow-based courses. So, if you are planning to take some courses in St. Petersburg, these will not be covered by the scholarship

How Can German Students Apply?

If you are interested in receiving a scholarship, you should apply to HSE Summer University and the DAAD at the same time. At the end of the application period, HSE University will send a ranking of the applicants to the DAAD. The application deadline for HSE Summer University and DAAD scholarships is the same.
