The German Academic Exchange Service or DAAD (German: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst), founded in 1925, is the largest German support organization in the field of international academic co-operation. DAAD scholarship in Germany is a private, federally funded and state-funded, self-governing national agency of the institutions of higher education in Germany, representing 365 German higher education institutions. The DAAD itself does not offer programs of study or courses, but awards competitive, merit-based grants for use toward study or research in Germany at any of the accredited German institutions of higher education. It also awards grants to German students, doctoral students, and scholars for studies and research abroad.
