This funding variant is either initiated by the requirements of the DAAD-Stiftung's sponsors or is based on the foundation's own impulses.
Through the exchange with the (German) sponsors, the DAAD-Stiftung based in Germany and contact persons in the worldwide network offices of the foundation's trustee, the DAAD e.V., intercultural aspects are incorporated into the sur place scholarships and their execution.
Here you can read how content the DAAD-Stiftung's scholarship holders have been to receive support through purpose-free donations or thanks to a Stipendien-Patenschaft (individual sponsorship).
