Funding - Though German Universities do not charge tuition fees, one still needs money for general living expenses, boarding and lodging, insurance, books etc. A scholarship or grant may be the answer for those who dont have the necessary financial resources. A look at the DAAD scholarship database will show you what DAAD has to offer. But remember, numerous other institutions and organisations can also help you finance your studies.
