•   In addition to these payments, the DAAD will cover travel costs for applicants from certain countries, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.

Requirements:
•   Applications for re-invitations are open to the above-specified former scholarship holders (alumni) who have been back in their home country for at least three years.
