The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is a joint institution of German universities. It uses public funds to promote international academic cooperation, especially the exchange of students and scholars. The foreign students at our universities enrich the university community both culturally and academically. To recognize this, the DAAD provides annual funds to universities to award a prize to foreign students with outstanding achievements and remarkable social-intercultural commitment.

The prize cannot be divided among several students. The selection of the award winners is the responsibility of the university.

Applicants with full scholarships from a German organization are not eligible. Previous prize winners are not eligible to participate again.

The Musikalische Akademie (Gesellschaft der Freunde und Förderer der HfM Würzburg e.V.) will provide three additional promotional prizes of € 500 each for this competition under the same conditions.
