DAAD GROW Scholarship 2026: Global Research Opportunities for the South - Apply Now!

The DAAD Global Research Opportunities for the South (GROW) Scholarship Programme 2026 is designed to reshape the purpose of research in the Global South. It emphasizes academic excellence alongside real-world impact, ensuring that research addresses pressing issues aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This initiative not only funds researchers but also encourages them to become problem-solvers who contribute to their communities.

GROW actively promotes inclusivity by encouraging applications from women and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. It offers flexible funding options, focusing on collaboration and long-term partnerships rather than individual achievements. This scholarship is a significant step towards a more equitable research landscape, validating the contributions of researchers from the Global South on a global scale.

Open to researchers from the Global South, particularly those who align their proposals with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The programme encourages applications from women and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
