German University Summer Course Grant

This program provides scholarships to attend a broad range of 3- to 4-week summer language courses at German universities which focus mainly on literary, cultural, political and economic aspects of modern and contemporary Germany. Extensive extracurricular programs complement and reinforce the core material.

Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing full-time study at Canadian or US colleges or universities. There are no restrictions as to field of study, but applicants must have attained at least Junior standing (10 full-course credits for Canadians) at the time of application.

Applicants must have completed a minimum of four semesters of college German (or have obtained an equivalent level of language proficiency elsewhere) in order to be able to participate in group projects and follow lectures in German.

Rutgers applicants must contact Dean Harvey Waterman at waterman@rci.rutgers.edu a few months in advance of application deadlines.
