  23. Sayed Wali Abade says:

    let me know if we can apply for Germany language learning progromm under this oppurtunity.???

  24. Eunice says:

    Dear sir/Madam,
    Thank you for the above opportunity, am really eager to learn German language. I have seen that One-off scholarship payment of 1,061 euros; scholarship holders from “Least Developed Countries” receive a scholarship of 1,236 euros. Course fees and accommodation expenses will be deducted directly from scholarship payments by the language course provider so that the grant holder is possibly paid only the difference to the full amount of the scholarship by the course provider. So my question is how much is the course and accommodation fee that will be deducted from the grant and how much money will remain. Will the remaining money be enough for someones survival in Germany?

    Thank you once again.
