No separate funding application is required.

The application for admission to the EUI doctoral programme is automatically an application for a national grant. 

After the selection at the EUI, the selected candidates need to apply formally for the grant by using the DAAD portal. It is not necessary to submit a separate application. This is not valid for applications for an LL.M. grant. To apply for an LL.M. grant it is necessary to submit an application directly to the DAAD.
