Application Tip #44
Can I apply for the P.R.I.M.E. grant if I am neither a German national nor currently living in Germany?
Yes, neither German citizenship nor residency in Germany is a requirement. PRIME is open to both Germans and foreigners, no matter whether they are currently living in Germany or abroad. You are eligible to apply if you already hold a PhD or if you will have completed your PhD before the prospective starting date of your PRIME fellowship.
