DAAD Prize
The DAAD Prize, endowed with 1,000 euro and funded by the Federal Foreign Office, is awarded each year to outstanding international students who have performed exceptionally well both academically and in terms of their remarkable social or intercultural commitment. The award is intended to demonstrate to a broader public the enrichment international students contribute to the (university) community.
The call for nominations at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam is usually announced in May. Potential prize winners must be nominated by professors of the university.
