About HIV Research Trust Scholarships
Contents
The HIV Research Trust is a charitable organization that supports physicians, nurses, scientists, and other health care professionals working in HIV infection in resource-constrained settings in low- and lower-middle-income countries. The Trust helps early career and mid-career researchers.
The scholarships offer foreign graduates from development and newly industrialised countries from all disciplines and with at least two years of professional experience the chance to take a postgraduate or Master’s degree at a state or state-recognised German university, and in exceptional cases to take a doctoral degree and to get a university qualification (Master’s/PhD) in Germany.
With its development-oriented postgraduate study programmes, they promote the training of specialists from development and newly industrialised countries. Well-trained local experts, who are networked with international partners, play an important part in the sustainable development of their countries. They are the best guarantee for a better future with less poverty, more education and health for all.
