German Exchange and Fellowship Programs

  • German Academic Exchange Service
    The German Academic Exchange Service / Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) helps facilitate exchange to and from Germany. The service not only coordinates its own programs but also provides resources for finding a graduate program in Germany and how the German university system works. In addition, it hosts a scholarship search engine that aggregates scholarships sponsored by DAAD, external organizations, governments, etc. 
  • The German Chancellor Fellowship
    Sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation, this fellowship is for university graduates from the United States, Russia, China, Brazil, and India with an interest in international issues and demonstrated leadership potential. Fellows are recruited from a broad range of areas such as politics and public policy, law, media, business, the nongovernmental and nonprofit sector, and the arts.

Grant Venable, Fall 2022
Bard College 

"As a first semester junior, I had the opportunity to study abroad through the Bard Abroad program in Berlin, Germany. With assistance from the Benjamin A. Gilman international scholarship program, I took my studies as a Theatre & Performance major to Bard College Berlin in Pankow and worked as an intern for TATWERK, a performance art theater in the heart of Kreuzberg. There I was exposed to various different forms of performance practice that enriched my theatre studies and expanded the bounds of what I thought was possible as a performer. The Gilman scholarship allowed me to take full advantage of my abroad experience by helping to alleviate financial restraints in order to take on an arts-based internship, immerse myself in artistic exhibitions and performances, and open up travel opportunities to other European cities like Amsterdam, Prague, and Florence."
