Return of foreign students this section, we describe this scholarship institution and compare it to other scholarship institutions. We also compare the KAAD student population to the broader foreign student population in Germany and depict the legal framework for the migration decision in Germany. 3.3.1 The Scholarship Institution KAAD The KAAD is the scholarship institution of the German Catholic Church which supports graduate and post-graduate students and scientists from developing and transition countries. As a non-profit, non-governmental organization it is dedicated to goals of promoting development and the dialogue between cultures and churches. It envisions its students returning to their home countries where they shall help to foster economic, political and social development. The KAAD manages three scholarship programs. Financial aid in all programs consists of a monthly scholarship. The amount of the scholarship is determined according to the economic situation of the student in such a way that it covers his study and living costs. Selection criteria for all programs are above-average qualification, integrity and return intention. Since the KAAD is a catholic organization, it supports primarily, but not exclusively, catholics. In Program 1, also called Partner Program, graduates from developing countries are invited to come to Germany for research or graduate study. The program focuses on specific countries which are selected in consultation with the Episcopal Aid Organizations and the German Catholic Bishops’ Conference. Partner organizations in these countries propose candidates and the selection board of the KAAD, the Academic Committee, decides on the acceptance of scholarship students. Accepted students are invited to Germany and receive a scholarship for study or research. Program 2 is aimed at students who are already living in Germany and who are in an advanced stage of their studies – they have typically passed their mid-degree examinations. Personal applications are not possible. Students have to be proposed by the relevant Catholic university community and are selected by the Academic Committee. Students of Program 2 might be quite representative of foreign students in Germany. Their decision to come to Germany was not affected by the offer of a KAAD scholarship and they had 55
to finance the first period of their stay in Germany by other means. Return of foreign students Programs 1 and 2 are restricted to students from developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The maximum duration for financial support is three years. The KAAD also runs an Eastern European Scholarship Program (Program 3) that supports students from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe in financing primarily short term stays (of two to six months) in Germany for research or study purposes. Similar to the first program, partner organizations propose candidates which are then selected and invited by the Academic Committee. The KAAD actively encourages return. If a scholar does not return to his or her home country or to another developing country at the end of the study period in Germany, the funds received from the KAAD and any additional aid must be repaid in full. Moreover, the KAAD offers seminars which address topics of development policy and provide assistance for reintegration. 3.3.2 Other Institutions and the Foreign Student Population in Germany Other Scholarship Institutions The grant policy of the KAAD resembles that of other scholarship organizations. Well- known scholarship organizations like the Fulbright program or the Ford foundation (USA) also support students from developing and transition countries with the aim to foster development and expect their scholars to return. 5 Selection criteria for scholarships usually include above-average performance at university or work, and societal involvement. Organizations which provide scholarships to foreign students who do not yet study in the respective host country often rely on local councils in the home countries to (pre-)select the scholarship recipients. The Fulbright Program for example has its own local selection committees. The KAAD program has two distinctive features: the preferential selection of catholics and the payback requirement if the scholarship recipient stays. In our analysis, we control for the preferential selection of catholics by including a dummy for being catholic. The payback requirement does not seem to compromise the underlying data via a selection 5 see Spilimbergo (2007) 56
