DAAD Prize

The prize for outstanding achievements of international students studying at German universities by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is endowed with 1.000 euro per university. According to the DAAD, the prize is intended “to give faces to the many international students at German universities and link them with their stories. This illustrates that each international student takes a piece of Germany back to their homeland when they return and also leaves something of themselves in Germany – thus enriching both sides. The students who have received this prize via their respective host institutions stand for their fellow students from all around the world. They are Germany’s future partners in economics, politics and science.”
