This describes you if you are looking for a master’s or doctoral scholarship in Germany and can speak or are learning German. There are opportunities to apply for scholarships in Germany to pay your study. You can only apply to a university after receiving admission.
Typically, it is easier to apply for funding for the second semester/year of your studies in Germany after you have begun your program. Therefore, you can come to Germany, learn basic German in the first year, then apply for the scholarship in the second.
Naturally, it is feasible to apply before arriving in Germany if you have a basic command of the German language. In addition to proficiency in German, the majority of these awards demand social or voluntary activity. So your community development duty while NYSC is already a valuable experience, but so are your university extracurricular activities.
Other examples of socio-political engagement that can help you obtain a German scholarship include membership in the student council, position as head boy, leadership of international youth camps, membership in the Green Youth, involvement with associations and non-governmental organizations, etc.

9.) Scholarships Specific to Universities
There are more scholarship opportunities available from universities that do not require knowledge of German. To find these types of scholarships, you must scour the websites of your preferred institutions or speak with the admissions coordinator.
For instance, I received a scholarship to study in Germany by sending an email to the admissions coordinator inquiring about possible scholarships. Fortunately, there was one and I obtained it. My coworkers were astonished, but they did not inquire. So ask ask ask!!!
Applying for these scholarships demands a great deal of perseverance, as you will need to acquire a number of difficult-to-obtain documents (Germans love documents). However, it is worthwhile.
Best wishes as you apply!!!
