Humboldt Foundation Seeking US Applicants for German Chancellor Fellowship

News
Germany's Alexander von Humboldt Foundation awards fellowships annually to young U.S. professionals and is seeking applications for the 2009-2010 period. The fellowship provides for a stay of one year in Germany for professional development, study, or research. The application deadline for 2009-2010 awards is October 31, 2008.

The programme, which is under the patronage of the German Chancellor, allows the fellows to carry out a project of their own design in cooperation with a German host. It also incorporates an intensive language course in Germany, a four-week introductory seminar in Bonn and Berlin, a study trip around Germany and a final meeting in Berlin. These activities provide additional insights into the social, cultural, economic and political life of Germany.

Candidates from all professions and disciplines, but especially individuals in the humanities, law, social sciences and economics, are eligible to apply. The applications are reviewed by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and need to reach the following address by the application date:
