Service Area for Alumni
How can I access the Service Area for Alumni?
Once you’ve successfully logged in, you’ll find a link to the Service Area for Alumni on the Mein DAAD homepage. Alternatively you can also access the Service Area for Alumni directly via the following URL: www.meindaad.de/service-area-alumni.
You need a DAAD ID, in other words a central user account for DAAD online services, to login to Mein DAAD. There are two options for accessing the Service Area for Alumni depending on when and how you applied to the DAAD for your scholarship:
Option 1:
Your scholarship application to the DAAD was submitted digitally, that is via one of the DAAD online portals (Note: For most funding programmes, this has been the case for around the last ten years).
In this case, you should already have saved an e-mail address and a login password during the application and for subsequent administration of your funding. These data now represent your DAAD ID and you can use them to login to Mein DAAD.
Please access the login section of Mein DAAD and sign in there using your DAAD ID. After the login, you’ll be transferred to the Service Area for Alumni. Alternatively you can also access the Service Area for Alumni directly via: www.meindaad.de/de/service-area-alumni.
Notes: If you no longer remember your password, please use the ‘Forgotten password’ section and reset your password. Should you furthermore no longer remember which e-mail address you previously specified, please use the ‘Check DAAD ID’ function. Should you no longer have access to your e-mail address registered with the DAAD, please send an e-mail to alumni@daad.de.
Should you have successfully logged in using your DAAD ID and are still not able to access the Service Area for Alumni, it could be that our system is not automatically recognising your alumni status. In this case please use the following function to check your access rights: www.meindaad.de/alumni-access.
Option 2:
Your scholarship application to the DAAD was submitted in an analogue format, i.e. by post
(Note: This is generally the case if you received your scholarship in the more distant past).
In this event you probably don’t have a DAAD ID.
Please access the Mein DAAD login section and register there for a new DAAD ID using your current e-mail address. You can then use Mein DAAD to confirm your status as a DAAD alumna / alumnus.
Notes: If, in the meantime, you have already registered for the Mein DAAD service portal, please do not create a new account, but use your former account instead. You can use the ‘Check DAAD ID’ function to check whether a DAAD ID already exists for the specified e-mail address. Should you no longer remember your password, please use the ‘Forgotten password’ section and assign a new password. Should you require information about the DAAD ID, please use the ‘FAQ relating to a DAAD ID’ domain. Please feel free to contact alumni@daad.de if you have any other questions. Should you have successfully logged in using your DAAD ID and are still not able to access the Service Area for Alumni, it could be that our system is not automatically recognising your alumni status. In this case please use the following function to check your access rights: www.meindaad.de/alumni-access.
