      Hi Sapna,

      The Re-invitation Programme for Former Scholarship Holders, DAAD, is for current holders of DAAD research grants or study scholarships who have been funded for more than six months by the Federal Foreign Office or in a program co-financed with Federal Foreign Office funds. Unfortunately, the scholarship does not cover the preferred course of Sports Science.
