DAAD In-Region Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies for Yemenis
More details :
The DAAD In-Region Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies for Yemenis in Jordan support Yemeni graduates who want to pursue a Master’s degree, thesis track, at selected universities in Jordan. The programme is part of DAAD’s In-Country/In-Region Scholarship Programme and aims to support future academic and professional leaders who can contribute to development, education, and research in Yemen.

At Darrab Education, we advise Yemeni students to consider this opportunity seriously, especially those interested in academic, research, public-sector, or development-related careers. However, students should always check the official DAAD scholarship page before applying, because requirements, benefits, documents, and deadlines can change.
