As a partner university, DAAD encourages the UA to select one priority candidate. Priority candidates from partner universities receive preferential status in the general fellowship competitions and have a considerably higher likelihood of being selected. The information session will cover the basics of the study scholarship and research scholarships as well as the priority candidacy process. Contact Shelley Hawthorne Smith with questions (shellh at email.arizona.edu<mailto:shellh at email.arizona.edu>).
