For questions regarding your scholarship payment, please contact Ms. Luitgard Scheidler, directly: Luitgard Scheidler

For all other matters concerning the DAAD PROMOS scholarships, please contact Ms. Obert and write to promos@zv.uni-freiburg.de.

Since DAAD leaves determining the modalities for each programme line up to the individual universities (within certain framework conditions), we request that you refrain from contacting DAAD and contact the International Office instead. The various scholarship options are described on the DAAD homepage. However, for Freiburg students, the University of Freiburg's announcement on this homepage regarding the PROMOS scholarships is legally binding. Please note that in 2024, not all PROMOS scholarship options described by the DAAD will be offered by the University of Freiburg and that the application modalities are determined individually by each university taking DAAD’s guidelines into account.
