Scholarship Description
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports a range of development-oriented postgraduate study programmes at German Universities which aim at providing academically educated young professionals from developing and newly industrialised countries with further specialized studies.

The Development-Related Postgraduate Courses scholarships offer foreign graduates from all disciplines and with at least two years' professional experience the chance to take a postgraduate or Master's degree at a state or state-recognised German university, and in exceptional cases to take a doctoral degree, and to obtain a university qualification (Master's/PhD) in Germany.

If you have no private financial resources or cannot obtain a scholarship from your government, company or an international organisation, you may apply for a DAAD scholarship. Applicants from developing countries are encouraged to apply.

I checked out the link ibnibrahim dropped. One thing I gathered from it is that people for the scholarships must be already employed. In a related field to what they want to study.

I for one I have the required years of experience but not in the required field.

Commonwealth shared scholarship doesn't require any form of work experience. Just good essays. Although work or volunteer experience might be an advantage when applying.
