DAAD Scholarships - An Overview

in the lobby

Would you like to study, carry out research or learn German in Germany and are you looking for funding? Every year, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports well over 100,000 German and international students and researchers around the globe – making it the world's largest funding organisation of its kind. Learn more about our scholarship options.

DAAD scholarships are aimed primarily at graduates, doctoral students and postdocs and are awarded for study and research visits to universities and non-university research institutions in Germany. In some programmes, internships are also funded.

DAAD awards Research Grants – One-Year Grants for Doctoral Candidates for PhD students from almost all countries of origin. A grant for a full doctoral programme in Germany is offered primarily to applicants from developing and threshold countries (based on the OECD-DAC list ).

Scholarships for a Master's degree in Germany are available, in particular, for persons from industrial countries.

Students and doctoral candidates who are at risk of being denied educational or other rights in their country of origin have the chance to apply for a scholarship from the Hilde Domin Programme . Potential candidates cannot themselves apply for participation in the scholarship programme but are nominated by an institution or organisation that is a legal entity domiciled in Germany. Thereafter, suitable candidates will be contacted by the DAAD and invited to apply via the DAAD application portal.

Also available are so-called " Sur-place and Third Country Programmes " in which students and young scientists and researchers are offered DAAD funding for a graduate programme, doctoral programme or postdoc period in their home country or region.

If you wish to apply for a DAAD scholarship, please read the call for applications for your chosen scholarship programme in the scholarship database , paying particular attention to application deadlines. The scholarship database will take you to the application portal. Scholarship applications are reviewed by independent and voluntary selection committees, which also decide on the allocation of scholarships. Selection is based on subject-related criteria.

DAAD scholarships do not have to be paid back. They usually consist of a monthly scholarship payment (currently, for example,  € 934 for graduates and € 1,200 for doctoral/PhD students) and a flat-rate travel allowance. In many cases, DAAD also provides you with health, accident and personal liability insurance . Depending on scholarship programme, here are also additional benefits such as a one-off research allowance, family benefits or funds for language courses. The benefits offered by the respective scholarship programme are described in the call for applications in the scholarship database .

Hi. Thanks for opening this sub-topic.  I also aim to apply for PhD grant if I can manage to prepare my documents in a few days, hopefully. I am from Turkey and my subject area is psychology/clinical psychology.  I wish good luck to everyone also!

Good luck! The application for American students just closed on November 4th. Hope you're able to get everything submitted in time! If I can ask, why are you hoping to study in Germany?

16 minutes ago, esraC said: Hi!  For Turkey it says the deadline is on 15th november so I am currently working on to finish my research proposal and other rather easy documents. I said rather easy because I am familiar with DAAD scholarships as previously I applied for a short-term research grant - now aim for phd funding.  I want to study in Germany because I did my previous research stay during my masters there and I have already a network there What about you? 

Nice! I participated in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange last year. It's an international fellowship that gave me the chance to live study and intern in Germany. I got a chance to visit my target university and experience what higher education is like there. I also built a solid network there, so needless to say I would love to go back! I'm planning on pursuing a Masters in Human Computer Interaction.

Hello! Not sure if it changes depending on the region, I'm from South America and received the link on 28th of October, the deadline for submission being 7th of November.

Someone on Reddit made this spreadsheet to keep track of acceptances and deadlines throughout this fellowship cycle. Feel free to participate if you want!

Hi, hope everyone is doing fine. Ive applied for PhD grant for 23-24 AY. My Masters degree GPA is 4.00, I have several study and work abroad experiences, I am a former Fulbright scholar, and I already got a supervisor in Germany. What do u think the chance of my application being successful in DAAD? Thank you.

Noone is an authority here, I guess, but as someone who has been awarded with 2 DAAD scholarships before, I think your chances are quite high.  Fingers crossed! I also applied for my third scholarship, this time for PhD. I wish luck for both of us.

And also, I think our  profiles are quite similar. I also have previous scholarships (not Fullbright tho), high grades, previous abroad experiences as well as a supervisor in Germany waiting for me.  let's hope for the best! 

Anyone from Postgraduate Studies in the Field of Architecture heard back or had a status update? Mine is still paper copies received, they had previously written the selection would be finished in January.

i'm also applying for the same funding. mine also says paper copies received, no more infos. but if i remember correctly from checking last few years' forums, it might take some time (february/march), so let's be patient i guess:)

My status changed to selection made, so I guess the final results will be out any time now. Good luck!

Wow that quick? I guess they evaluate subject applications quicker than others. I imagine those of us applying for the general study scholarship are still gonna be waiting a while. In any case, good luck! Hope you end up getting it!

thanks for the update, got really nervous now. good luck to you too!

when do u think we will hear from DAAD Research & Doctoral grant? i applied back in august. my status changed to paper copies received. I hope ill get this scholarship and create some content about it. there is none.

Hi Esra, did you hear from DAAD? all the best for u too, btw

7 hours ago, Mariolehrer said: Hi Esra, did you hear from DAAD? all the best for u too, btw  

Hi, no unfortunately it is still on "paper copies received".  I am not so sure but I think we'll hear the result earliest by end of march - first week of april but I hope we both can get a positive result as soon as possible. Fingers crossed! 

Do u remember the gap between you got the result and arrived in germany last time u got a daad scholarship?

also, do u know if we are required to be interviewed before selection?

Hey everyone, sadly, I got a rejection letter. I had applied to the postgraduate studies in the field of architecture scholarship from Brazil.

Makes me wish I knew the reason of the rejection... I wasn't totally confident but had a good GPA, three years of internship experience while studying, did research for around two years also while studying and had already participated in some international events, some even having DAAD as a partner. I also had a letter from a professor from Germany stating I was part of the winning group of a summer school organized by a university from Germany and the other from the USA.

Even though I know this isn't the end, (it just means things will be a bit harder) I am now worried my qualifications aren't enough to be admitted to the universities I had in mind in Germany. Maybe the fact that I didn't have yet an admission letter is what disqualified me somewhat.

I wish you all the best and all luck

Hi,  Last time I applied the deadline was again 15th Novembe and I got the official results in early april.  But regarding interview ı am not sure and I also would like to know because earlier I applied for a short term research grant and that did not require an interview but regarding phd scholarship I heard inconsistent reports... Maybe depends on the country? I dont know 

phd-urban-design-2023

My status also changed to "initial funding", "selection made". I have a tab for "consent processing medical data", do you have the same tab with forum to download? 

I am waiting for final answer.

Thank you. I applied for a doctoral research grant which takes 4 years, so our conditions might not be similar. Fingers crossed. Please, lmk if u receive any updates, i will do so too.

FTUI Hosts TUM Info Session and DAAD Scholarship Opportunities

daad phd scholarship 2023

On Thursday (04/18), the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), held a TUM Asia Info Session along with information about scholarships provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The event featured two main speakers, Dr.-Ing. Ali Bawono, PMP, Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the Faculty of Rail, Transport, & Logistics TUM Asia, and La Budza, Program Officer for DAAD Scholarships and Alumni in Jakarta.

“The scholarships available at TUM through the DAAD scholarship are for the Rail, Transports and Logistics; Aerospace Engineering; Green Electronics; Integrated Circuit Design; and Industrial Chemistry programs. One of the excellent advantages of TUM is that its alumni find it relatively easy to secure employment after graduation. Many DAAD scholarship alumni from UI are currently working in international and multinational companies, not only in Europe but also in Singapore and several other countries,” explained Ali Bawono.

The Technical University of Munich (TUM), established in 1868, is renowned as one of the best technical universities in Europe. TUM was named the best campus in Germany according to the QS World University Ranking 2024. With the motto “Talents Are Our Assets, Reputation Is Our Return,” TUM also ranks 13th in Global University Employability according to THE World University Ranking 2023. TUM is known as an entrepreneurial university that nurtures talent and creates value for society through its network of partners in research and industry. With seven faculties and over 50,000 students, TUM has produced 18 Nobel laureates since its inception.

The session continued with an explanation from La Budza about the DAAD Scholarship. “The DAAD scholarship is available for all levels of education, from undergraduate to post-doc. DAAD has 60 offices worldwide and receives funding from the German government and the European Union. To date, DAAD has funded more than 800 students. Speaking of Germany, some of the advantages of this country include its universities with good reputations globally, comprehensive research institutes, and no tuition fees charged to students,” she explained.

La Budza also explained about scholarships specifically for postgraduate studies. The DAAD PhD scholarships provide research grants for 12 or 24 months in Germany for students completing their PhD programs in Indonesia. In addition, for those who want to pursue a Master’s degree, DAAD provides a living allowance of 934 Euros, while for PhD candidates, they receive 1300 Euros. Scholarship recipients are also eligible to apply for insurance, travel allowances, and housing subsidies upon arrival in Germany.

FTUI Dean, Prof. Dr. Ir. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU., stated, “The collaboration between FTUI and TUM in organizing the Info Session and discussing DAAD scholarship opportunities is a form of support for FTUI students interested in continuing their studies in Germany. I hope that students can make the most of this opportunity to develop themselves and contribute at the global level.”

Don't have time to read online? Don't worry you can download  40 Scholarship interview questions and answers PDF  and read at your own convenient.

1. Tell us about yourself!

This is the most popular among all scholarship interview questions and answers. This is quite an open - ended question. In the Tell me about yourself scholarship question, you might be tempted to express a lot of information about you. But don't! The answer to this question is usually concise and purposeful. This is an “ introduce yourself ” scholarship interview question. It should indicate your personality, values, goals (short - term and long - term) and accomplishments. For example:

Sample Answer:

I take personal interest in people and their careers. That's why I plan to study Human Resource Management and become a Talent Acquisition expert. I am already a certified Senior Human Resources Professional by HRCI. When I am not working, I enjoy reading personal development books and watch history documentaries.

2. What is your greatest strength?

This is one of the most common college scholarship interview questions, where you point a positive attribute of your personality to light. What makes the answer sound even more impactful is an example of where you applied your strength. Take this example.

A strength that I am proud of is my industry. When I am passionate about a particular project, I ensure I use all the resources available at my disposal to bring it to fruition. Once, I had a research proposal in school with a case study to that was quite challenging. However, I took energy and resources ( financial and non - financial). I utilised the necessary data analytics tool and obtained substantial findings. My supervisor was impressed to see that I accomplished the impossible.

3. What is your greatest weakness?

This is another typical scholarship interview question. Here you are expected to explain a weakness that has been challenging. Ensure you are sincere but at the same time, point out how you are practically trying to improve on your weakness. This would show that you are self aware and that you are striving for personal effectiveness. Back up your claim with an example that buttresses how you are working on developing yourself.

Stress management is definitely my Achilles' heel. When I am stressed with overwhelming projects or passing deadlines. I tend to get anxious and may procrastinate as a result of looking for an exit. One time, my boss asked me to conduct interviews for three executives within two days I was so overwhelmed that I ended up conducting just one. Ever since, I have been taking time management classes and have adopted diverse methods on multitasking.

4. Why do you deserve this scholarship?

Now, this is where you spell the gospel truth. It's a tough question, yes. But one way you can amaze your interviewers is by abridging what is stated in your scholarship essay . You must have explained the reasons for applying for the scholarship. It would be easy to pinpoint major statements from your essay. For example:

Psychology in Nigeria is considerably undervalued. The puritan society is made up of a logical number of people with psychological trauma. Yet, the sector of clinical psychology has not been explored as a solution to a plethora of traumatized incidences. Thus, I would like to proffer satisfactory psychotherapy for every patient that needs my attention.

5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?

This question is asked in a bid to ascertain how goal - oriented you are. Every Postgraduate student has a vision for himself or herself before pursuing their scholarship opportunities. So the judges would want to know about yours. So in this scenario, you explain your passion, link it with your future goals and relate how the scholarship will benefit you.

I love numbers. And I always enjoy advising business person's based on the financial status. That's why I am planning on establishing my own audit company in 5 years from now. I am currently getting all the certifications and licenses that I need  to accomplish this dream. So a masters degree in financial accounting will equip me with the necessary knowledge to pursue my future goals.

6. Who is your Role Model?

Here you are expected to relate a person in your life who has made a great impact in you. It could be a relative, it could be a friend, a senior colleague or a celebrity. Either way, you have to mention and explain why you admire him or her and perhaps relate an example of his/her virtues. In this way, the University board can see how you are capable of representing the values of your sponsor.

I admire Candy Hammer. She is an author of a lot of personal development books that shaped my perspective and incentivizes me to become a better version of me. Once, I sent an email of appreciation to her. And she replied! We had a one - on - one life coaching session. I was happy to meet this humble lady. Ever since, I am thrilled but mostly motivated than ever to incite personal development to people around me.

7. Talk about a time you overcame a challenge.

The morale of this question is to see how you overcome an unwelcoming situation. Your answer will depict how you are capable of responding prudently to challenges. Were you bullied? Were you a victim of theft? Have you had self - esteem issues? Explain how you dealt with the situation, leaving an optimistic note.

Once, I was getting back home. On my way, I was robbed at gunpoint. It was quite terrifying. I was very mortified and even so, the next day I had my final exam. When I got home safe and sound, I made a decision to not focus on the traumatizing experience I had some minutes earlier and prepare for my morning exams. And so I did. I applied emotional intelligence, wrote my exam satisfactorily and then filed a police report. Good news! I retrieved my stolen items.

8. What are your career goals?

This sounds similar to the "Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now" question. This is equally one the common questions in scholarship interview. But unlike the latter, the former question is more specific to professional aspirations. The board would want to understand where the scholarship will take you in your journey of career growth. It is advisable that you outline your long - term and short - term goals and preferably your plans of giving back to the community.

A master's degree in International Studies and Diplomacy will equip me in becoming a renowned diplomat and my country's ambassador. I am currently applying for internships in the Federal Ministry of Foreign affairs and state Ministry of Internal affairs. Also, I am getting the certifications I need and aim at giving back to my community by securing international development funds.

9. Why did you choose this school?

This is quite an easy question because you are expected to be aware of what your school of choice has to offer. But the board would want you to to express your zest for the program and understand your reasons for pursuing a degree in the school. Remember what interests you in the school. Be concise yet sincere.

As a tenacious marketing expert, I have always wanted to intensify my earning ability with knowledge. Although there are many schools who offer post graduate marketing degrees, this is the only University that teaches marketing with a global orientation. The title of the program "International Communication and Marketing Management", triggered my interest as it embodies my intention of becoming a Brand Manager of multinational company.

10. What activities are you involved in?

So this is where you explain other things you did apart from studying. Other activities such as sports, dancing, involvement groups can be explained here. Your extracurricular activities would define how interesting you are. They also reveal how much of a team player you are.

Playing chess was something I really enjoyed. It furnished my strategic and critical thinking. This activity has helped me to predict the movements of the opposing side. Therefore, it instilled in me the desire of learning forecasting techniques. This activity has a considerable contribution in my goal of studying statistics.

11. Tell us about a personal achievement that makes you proud!

Think! This is an interesting interview question for scholarship applicants. What has been a personal struggle but overtime you overcame? This can be characterized as a personal achievement. Narrate a short story of a shortcoming you had to deal with and indicate how proud you are of yourself.

I have always loved the idea of career development. But I am quite timid. One way to pursue career development is by networking with people in my field. That's quite a Herculean task. Once, I attended a career fair bust was too ashamed to initiate a discussion with anyone. I was embarrassed. But I picked up the challenge and decided to be more sociable. So I started with virtual networking and later became proficient at starting and sustaining conversations with colleagues and veterans in the corporate events.

12. Describe your biggest mistake.

This may sound similar to knowing about your weaknesses. This is where the board wants to know more about yourself awareness. Everyone has flaws. So when you admit yours, it indicates that you are humble. So ensure that you back it up with how you took responsibility of your actions.

I remember back in the elementary school, I was envious of a new entrant who always had the attention of my friends. So one day I poured a refreshment drink on her school bag, damaging all her books. Little did I know that there were cameras recording my moves! So I got suspended. But what hit the most was the disappointment in my teacher's and friends' faces. I apologized but my reputation was tarnished for a long time. So I learnt that envy is a poisonous feeling that must be put to a halt when detected and to always consider the consequences of my actions beforehand.

13. Tell us about your leadership experience.

Here is an intriguing interview question for scholarship candidates. Leadership is about discerning the potentials of your team members and guiding them in maximizing their potentials in the best possible way. You may have held a leadership position formally or informally. In any case, it is well accepted.

I used to belong to a learning and involvement group back in school where I was appointed as the in - house consultant. During my appointment, I observed that most members weren't intentional about their careers. So I carried out career coaching sessions with each member that would help them get closer to their dream job. From this experience, I furnished my problem solving and analytical skills.

14. What is your favorite book, movie or song?

This may sound silly to you for a question in scholarship interview . But the board would want to arouse an interesting side of you. So relate a book or movie that impressed you and explain why it mattered to you so much.

I am keen on the Power of Self Discipline by Brian Tracy. This book explains how the art of self - discipline has a tremendous influence in various facets of life, from personal excellence to peace of mind and happiness. This book has shaped my perspective and has embodied the quality of self discipline in my education, business, career and more.

15. What was your favorite subject in school?

Here, this high school scholarship interview question is directed to understand your attitude towards learning and development. You can think of a subject that interests you the most. Having an A or a C in the subject doesn't really matter. What matters is the specific lesson that attracted you to the subject.

My favorite subject is Ancient Greek Language. It is particularly interesting to learn a language that gave birth to the Greek Language and has contributed to the English Language. That is one of the subjects that made me consider studying Linguistics. The subject helped me to appreciate the history of language.

16. How will you use the scholarship money?

Now, here is bursary scholarship interview question and answer. This question arises in a bid to ascertain your personal, academic, professional or financial goals. You are expected to address them in a concise and convincing way.

The scholarship money will go a long way in financing my project management certifications. I will also have the opportunity to travel for a conference event that addresses current issues pertaining to project management. This conference will fortify me academically for my Master's degree.

17. Can you give an example of a time you experienced difficulty at school?

The interviewers here want to dig out what you believe is difficult. You are not expected to discuss a personal problem rather you are expected to reveal how you solved a problem. It is preferable you discuss a problem that is related to your study.

In school, I had a research project to embark on and I was almost done with the first 5 chapters of my thesis. It was very disheartening when my project supervisor asked me to change the topic and rewrite everything. So instead of being upset with him for disregarding my efforts, I decided to resolve the conflict an negotiate. He saw reasons with me and then decided to rectify just a few parts of my work. At the end, I was not only able to defend my hard work, but I also established a good rapport with my supervisor.

18. How would you describe a good school environment?

The University board is aware that students thrive better in a great learning environment. They would want to see what your ideal school environment is. You are advised to research on the facilities of the school and emphasize on a team - oriented place. Ensure that your answer aligns with the school's vision.

My ideal school environment is a place where my learning will be augmented through knowledge - friendly libraries, health and safety - oriented spaces and committed lecturers.  I thrive more in a team - driven environment where group projects can be fully realized.

19. What is your definition of failure?

Getting to the stage of the scholarship interview can be rightfully labeled as success. But the board would also want you to reveal how you view failure. Before you answer, research on the expectations the University has from the new entrants. Avoid lying.

I define failure as the situation whereby one doesn't meet up to the expectations of the school or the educators. I also believe that failure sets in when one doesn't add value to oneself or the school in which he / she studies.

20. How do you set academic and career goals?

This is another possible scholarship interview questions you might meet.

Here, the interviewers want to know how clear and organized you are about your academic goals. You are expected to take a practical approach towards your goals and give a hint of why you set them.

I am future - oriented so I set goals according to the future I visualize. I set long - term goals and then short - term objectives that would materialize my goals. I write and review these goals on a piece of paper regularly as this exercise would train my subconscious mind into becoming more result - driven.

21. How do you deal with deadlines or multiple tasks?

The board would want to be aware of how you face deadlines that will arise in the course of a class project or student assignment. While answering, remember to carry the interviewer along through your plan of achieving deadlines in the task. You are also expected to so that you are organized and that you prioritize well.

I ensure that I have a positive outlook of the task at hand, then draft a plan on how to execute it and meet its deadline. I understand the importance of deadlines. They set me in motion. But If I can't meet up with the deadline, I will humbly ask for an extension.

22. Tell me about a time you work with or led a team.

When asking these questions, the interviewers seek to ascertain your competence in this situation. You are expected to give an example of where you demonstrated working in a team. Ensure that you don't sound lazy or unprofessional.

Our IT lecturer once separated our class into various teams and asked us to design a website from scratch. So my team and I decided to create a pharmacy Website. Some were saddled with the responsibility of learning the basics of a programming language. Others searched for the images while others developed the content. At the end, our website was labeled as the neatest and most organized.

23. How do you deal with stress?

The University board is aware that sometimes the semesters can cause emotional stress to students. What the interviewer wants to know is how you respond to stress. You can give an example of how you handled stress well in the past and walk your interviewer in how you managed the stress.

Time management and rest has always been my antidote to stress. I know I can't always avoid stress. But when it is within my power, I ensure that I manage my time and break my projects into smaller tasks and take some breaks in between. For example, once in school, I was asked to compose threes essays within a day. It was quite difficult because I had a test to write the next day. But applying time management surely helped me.

24. How do you build relationships with other members of a team?

The relationship that you build with your team's members can determine how productive, you will be at work. The board asks this question to see how well you can work in a team and to see level of relationship you have with one another.

I employ the art of constructive criticism. I believe that communication is key to an organized team work. When fellow team members don't meet expectations, I initially applaud them for giving their best shot, I recommend on the areas to improve and indicate that I believe in their judgement.

25. Describe yourself in three words.

This question may throw you off balance and at the same time, the interviewer wants to have a glimpse of your personality and determine if you fit. So focus on the skills and abilities that set you apart.

I am passionate, responsible and organized.

26. What would you do if there was a breakdown of communication in your study team?

The board is aware of the occasional communication breakdown that would take place from time to time in a project team. Like in every scenario, they want to determine your response to such a problem. You can show that you recognize the importance of communication.

I would be quick to ascertain the reason behind the breakdown. After hearing from my team members, I would proffer solutions that appease any issue that might have risen so that we could get back to work. Once, my team and I had a crucial presentation. So a day before, there was some bickering between two team members. I quickly resolved the issue before it escalated ; thus, not interrupting our work productivity.

27. How do you start a project?

This may sound like one of these academic scholarship interview questions. The interviewers here are looking for your communication skills. They want to ascertain your thought process, so emphasize on the importance of communication in every project and avoid the impression that you are perfect.

I espouse the value of Communication. That is the only driving force for teamwork. So when I am assigned to a project, I try to understand the results expected or the goal to be realized. Then I communicate this to my team members to ensure we all full grasp grasp what is expected of us.

28. What is the most significant conflict you had with another classmate and how did you resolve it?

This is a behavioral question that the interviewer ask to understand what the student would likely do when he / she is granted the admission. Here you show the board that you have conflict resolution skills and back up your claim with an example.

Once, while my team and I were working on a school project, a team member insulted me and repeatedly claimed that I was a hypocrite ad walked away. Initially, I felt embarrassed but after some moments, I decided to approach and talk to her that same day. I apologized for making her feel this but expressed my harmless intentions. She listened and then it turned out to be a minor misunderstanding that was quickly resolved.

29. Describe some times when you were not very satisfied or pleased with your performance.

The committee would love to determine how you care about your presentations and how you measure your success. Ensure that talk about a previous project or assignment handled along with an example relevant to the scholarship you are applying for.

I once had a presentation to handle in class with so much data. While I was elaborating on the analysis, my teacher interrupted me and claimed that my data was  misrepresented and wrongly deployed. I was shattered. However, I decided to go on a two days workshop on Advanced Data Analysis. I employed new techniques on my assignment and ask my lecturer to give me another chance. He did! I presented my work. The lecturer was amazed, the class was impressed and I was proud of myself.

30. Tell me about a time when you went above your duty to do a project.

The board wants to ascertain how passionate and intentional you can be when you are involved in a job. They also want to view your level of responsibility. So when answering this question, focus on the qualities and not on the situation.

Personally, going above my duty means going  beyond my jurisdiction in order to get a job done. Once, when I was in school, my team and I had a stage play at a particular Hall but was too messed up to rehearse with. And our play was the next day. So I joined the housekeeping team in tidying a tremendously disorganized room. At the end, my team and I rehearsed right on time.

31. Tell me about a time you disagreed with a decision that was made at school.

The interviewers are aware that a team can work cohesively but there would be bones of contention from time to time. They want to see how you handle disagreements. So you focus on the decision you disagreed with,  why and the alternative you have gave.

My team and I were appointed as the event planners of the end - of - the - year party. My team leader suggested we create awareness by printing out advert leaflets and distribute them to  classes. I disagreed with the suggestion because I believed that it would have been time - consuming and expensive. I recommended online presence and social media marketing. He was thrilled. We employed that strategy and there was a great turnout at the party.

32. Can you give me an example of a time you solved a problem.

Simply put, the committee is asking for your problem - solving skills and how well you deal with challenges. So you are expected to identify a problem you once sved and clearly explain the method byou used.

As an In - House consultant at a student group, I noticed that our tutors were focused on enlightening our members pertaining to professional qualifications, technical and soft skills but we didn't teach our students how to make money. So I suggested we shift our focus on financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Ever since, we have heard lots of members acquiring professional qualifications by themselves.  

33. What would you do if you had a bad lecturer?

This is another school scholarship interview questions. The lecturers in the University may have a different ideology from you. Therefore, the committee would want to see how you can handle such differences.

Initially, I may ask other students how they deal with a person like that. I would try to understand his character and personality. I would also discover what he dislikes so I avoid anything that may irritate him or what he likes so as to approach him more often.

34. What does motivation mean to you?

The question can be tricky because it is broad. So focus on honestly talking on something that motivates you and tie it with the scholarship you are applying for.

Exercising positive affirmations is a massive motivation for me. It helps in redefining a more optimistic mindset that embraces hopes and goal setting. Positive affirmations helps to having a deterministic view and be result driven.

35. How do you minimize the risk of errors in your assignments?

This is a competency based question that is used to evaluate a candidate's accuracy and have responsibility. He or she can minimize mistakes on school project. Here you are expected to give instances of your accuracy.

One way I ensure that I deliver an error - free work is by proofreading. This helps me a lot in giving out a seemless assignment. When it comes to data, I employ renowned softwares that can foster proper data gathering, analysis and presentation.

36. Describe the Internet to someone that is just waking from a 50 years comma.

In this scenario, you are expected to exhibit your creativity skills. To win the University board over, you can even be a bit humorous.

The internet is like a cobweb. A spider has access to different strokes of the cobweb from where it stands. Like the cobweb, the internet is a place where you have access to many sectors right from where you are standing.

37. Tell us what you have done to prepare for this scholarship.

The committee, in this case, would want to see if you have what it takes to study in their institution. It would be your job to convince them that you have the necessary education, qualifications, experience and skills for this award.

Studying a Master's degree in English and literature has definitely been my dream. I can vividly remember the many hours I would spend in reading Jane Austen's literature. Soon, I was triggered to study English and Literature as an undergraduate . Then, I started my own book club and I am  a licensed author. So I am convinced that I have the werewithals for this scholarship award.

38. If you are an animal, what animal would you be?

The interviewers wouldn't try to be offensive. Rather, they want to ascertain your thought process and creativity. Asking you to describe yourself using an animal is meant to understand your personality type. Ensure that you avoid choosing an animal with poor qualities.

If I were to be an animal, that should be a butterfly. A butterfly is always one stage or another of development waiting for it's day to fly. I see every educational asset that I have acquired as a stage from me to grow academically and professionally.

3 9. Do you have any questions for me?

Never go on an interview without planning a couple of questions before hand. You must ALWAYS have questions to ask in a scholarship interview.  It shows that you came prepared and organized.

What are my career prospects from this course of study? What is the University expecting from me? Do you have any advice as I prepare for college?

4 0. Is there anything you would like to add?

Review some of the questions you earlier answered and see if there is anything you have forgotten to add. If not, end the conversation with an appreciation.

Thank you for giving the chance of an interview and the time to speak with me!
