Spend a year abroad at a German university through Federation of German-American Clubs.
Each year, the German Program is awarded one scholarship by the Federation of German-American Clubs for study at one of about 20 universities in Germany. Qualifications for this one-year scholarship include upper-level coursework in German, good overall scholarship, excellent command of the German language and unmarried status. Returning scholarship recipients agree to spend their senior year living in the German House.
The Federation not only gives money to the students, but provides them with a huge social network. There are arranged weekend seminars for all scholars of the Federation where one can meet not only other students from the U.S., but also German scholars who studied in the U.S. or who are going to study abroad. These seminars bring out many lifetime friendships and serve the good relations between Germans and Americans. Furthermore, the local clubs of the Federation are well-known for their enthusiasm toward the American scholars and are truly interested in their comfort.
Although this scholarship doesn't include any transportation costs, an application for a Fulbright Travel Grant may help cover costs, which includes round trip international travel to Germany and limited health benefits.
To apply for this one-of-a-kind opportunity, talk to Professor Clark.
