The standard funding period is two years. After having obtained unconditional admission to doctoral studies at a German university, PhD-students receive a monthly scholarship of € 1.200.
The standard funding period for PhD scholars is three years. We also fund research stays in Germany for the minimum of three semesters.
Beside the monthly stipend, we offer multiple subsidies for our scholars. Upon request, we subsidize health care insurance up to the amount of € 120 per month.
We also offer a family allowance of € 276 provided that you and your spouse live together in one place in Germany for at least three months and that his/her income does not exceed the amount of € 450 per month.

What you need to know studying in Germany 2020
Being a scholar of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung means much more than just receiving financial assistance.
Our scholars benefit from a broad program of ideational support. They become part of an active and living network. The program is based on three pillars:
1. Personal contact and mentoring.
2. A wide seminar program – with over 180 activities per year – for all of our app. 3.000 scholars in Germany.
3. Regional and local activities of our more than 140 different university groups.
1. Mentoring by our staff and representatives at the universities
Our staff members and representatives at the universities supervise and consult our scholars personally.
They monitor the progress of your studies as well as your participation in the seminar program and the activities of your university group.
Our foundation attaches great importance to the continued development of your social commitment. The overall objective is to support you in identifying and in improving your individual strengths.
2. A manifold seminar program
The objective of the seminars, which are held exclusively for our scholars, is to expand the general education of our scholars. The seminars provide opportunities for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and information with other scholars and acknowledged experts. The ranges of topics include historical, political, economic and social issues on a national, European and international scope. Furthermore, training and coaching seminars help our scholars to strengthen their soft skills and to facilitate the transition from studying to professional life.
3. Being part of a local university group and of our Buddy-Program
The local university groups, “Hochschulgruppen”, are managed independently by our scholars along with the representatives of our foundation at the universities, the so called “Vertrauensdozenten”.
Each semester, they create a program of diverse activities for themselves. These local groups also help you with settling in and getting used to your new surroundings.
Furthermore, we invite our foreign scholars to take part in our Buddy-Program. On request, we identify an experienced German scholar to support you during the settling in period at your university in Germany and to facilitate your connection with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and your local university group.
It is a matter of particular interest to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung to encourage networking between our current and former scholars.
Over 14.000 alumni form a vibrant and global network of former KAS scholars who play active roles in politics, economics, science and society all over the world and who, at the same time, remain committed to our foundation and its current scholars.
More than 50 regional alumni groups worldwide and several specialized sub-networks give great opportunities to our former scholars and allow them to remain connected to our foundation.
This alumni network also provides practical assistance: its members finance a Social Fund which provides help to current and former scholars in cases of need. Moreover, the network promotes scientific and social projects.
