External Grants

Students in German have traditionally been extremely successful in their application for DAAD or Fulbright grants. Early planning and early application is essential, however. Below is a list of some of the external grant opportunities our students regularly apply. Please also check the website of the Office of Fellowships for additional suggestions.

• DAAD Undergraduate Scholarships
  Highly qualified undergraduate students are invited to apply for scholarships funding study, senior thesis research and/or internships in Germany. Scholarships are available either as part of an organized study abroad program or as part of an individual, student-designed study abroad semester or year.
