Students interested in study, research, or an internship experience in Germany will have the opportunity to begin investigating the numerous funding opportunities through the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). These grants are available to all US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents AND Foreign nationals if they have been full-time students at an accredited US or Canadian University for more than one year at the time of application. German language prerequisites vary--from none to proficient--depending on the DAAD award, applicant’s field, and plan in Germany. Grants range from Graduate Study Scholarships to Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates, Young Academics, and Scientists; and from Undergraduate Scholarships for research or internships to Science and Engineering-based internships.
