Scholarship Description
The Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC) understands that many of its admitted applicants are unable to pay the tuition fees, and to secure sufficient bank loans. The MIPLC can offer financial assistance to a limited degree only, and competition is fierce.
The MIPLC is a part of the DAAD’s program of “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” (see Postgraduate Courses for Professionals with Relevance to Developing Countries) targeted at students from developing countries. In partnership with DAAD, it offers MIPLC-DAAD Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries. If you would like to apply for the scholarship offered in this context, please note that several special conditions apply.
Applications for 2020/21 MIPLC-DAAD Scholarship for Students from Developing Countries will be accepted from 1 December 2019 through 30 June, 2020.
