What About Germany?
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
German Chancellor Scholarship Program
Ten German Chancellor Scholarships are awarded annually to highly motivated
individuals in the private, public, not-for-profit, cultural and academic
sectors. The program sponsors individuals who demonstrate the potential to
strengthen ties between Germany and the United States through their
profession or studies.
The scholarship provides for a stay of one year in Germany for professional
development, study, or research. Applicants design individual projects
tailored to their professional development and goals and decide at which
institutions to pursue them. Successful candidates have come from such
fields as business, government, social and policy sciences, law, journalism,
communications, management, finance, economics, architecture, public
service, humanities, arts and environmental affairs.
The program begins September 1 and lasts twelve months. It is preceded in
August by language classes taught in Germany. The monthly stipends range
from EUR 2,000 to EUR 3,500 and special allowances are available for
accompanying family members, travel expenses, and German language
instruction. Candidates must be United States citizens, possess a bachelor's
degree by the start of the award, and should be under 35 years old. Command
of German is not a prerequisite.
Applications and information can be found on the foundation's web site or
may be obtained from the U.S. Liaison Office.
