Background of the Scholarships 

The German Jordanian University was founded as a bi-national university on behalf of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research Germany and the Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research Jordan. The German government provides several funds to support and sustain the development of the GJU. A part of the money is dedicated to scholarships for GJU students. The donors of the scholarships are the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) jointly with the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg (GJU Project Office Magdeburg).

Please note: In case your German year starts in the second semester/summer term 2024, you can apply in approx. March 2024, not now. The batch now refers to the people who are starting their German year in September 2023. 

Please note that the English version is the only official version. The Arabic version serves as a guidance. The International Office works exclusively with the English version.

DAAD German Year Scholarships

(Last updated: 17.09.2023)

 

We would like to draw your attention that the GJU Project Office Magdeburg, our strategic partner in Germany, has informed us earlier that the DAAD German Year Scholarship will be shortened to cover only the study semester of the German Year. This is due to the reduction of the budget allocated to GJU from the donor of the scholarship DAAD starting from the summer semester batch 2020. At the same time, this allows the International Office to award more students with a scholarship as we discussed this with the presidency and the Exchange Coordinators. 

Outgoings of the second semester 2024: Please upload your German Language Certificate (B1, B2 or above) on MYGJU until the 15th of March 2024!

Outgoings of the first semester 2023/24: Please upload your German Language Certificate (B1,B2 or above) on MYGJU until the 14th of October 2023!

Please note: In case you start your German year in the second term 2024, you can apply in approx. March 2024, not now. The batch now refers to the people who are starting their German year September 2024.
