DAAD Zuse Scholarships for Master's students in AI 2027

SECAI scholarships were created to support outstanding students who intend to study AI or a related field at TU Dresden or Leipzig University. 

The scholarship is mainly awarded based on academic excellence, but also aims to improve internationalisation and diversity in AI-related teaching programmes. Women in STEM subjects are particularly encouraged to apply. Special personal circumstances are taken into account, for example if students are systematically disadvantaged or prosecuted in their home countries, or are refugees of war.
