The KAAD Scholarship Programme for sub-Saharan Africa is geared towards development of African countries and societies as well as development of qualified individuals.
Young university graduates, who have already taken over responsibility in church and society, should be empowered to continue along this line and do it in an even more qualified way.
Beneficiaries of KAAD-scholarships are predominantly from needy families and display academic excellence. The ultimate aim of our scholarship policy is the promotion of so-called “Agents of Change”.
The focus countries in Africa today are: Ghana, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe andKenya. Uganda and Tanzania are counted to be part of the focus region East Africa, apart from Kenya.
