User Story

The Learner Laia would like to apply to the DAAD for a scholarship to study for a Master’s degree in Germany. To do so, she needs documents, including an expert opinion from Ignacio (her professor) regarding an assessment of her abilities and the final certificate of her Bachelor’s degree. If possible, these documents should be sent to the DAAD digitally, verifiable and with a receipt. The DAAD would like to check the documents as directly as possible through the scholarship administration system - without manual activities.
