DAAD Scholarships in Germany Exchange Program
This is an exchange program with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the University of Michigan for study or research abroad in Germany.
Eligibility
This scholarship program is open to United States and Canadian citizens enrolled full-time in the University of Michigan from all fields (including music and the fine arts) except Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy.
Applicants for the undergraduate award must finish their degree by Spring 2010. Graduate applicants should hold a Bachelor's degree, have strong academic standing, and have completed more than one academic year at the time of application. All should have a specific project in mind which can be completed within a ten-month period. Fluency in German is highly recommended, but is not essential if one's field of study can be effectively completed in English. Preference is given to students who have been in correspondence with the German University of their choice. Applicants must be younger than age 32 at the start of the grant period.
