demonstrated exceptional work in at least
five upper division German courses (minimum
GPA of 3.3) are invited to apply for membership
in the German National Honor Society, Delta
Phi Alpha. The society offers a few scholarships
to Germany on a nationwide basis. The application
deadline is quite early in the academic year,
usually the beginning of October. Departmental
citations
Departmental citations are
presented to those students who have demonstrated
excellence in their German studies, as determined
by the faculty. Scholarship
Applications
Applications for scholarships
are available at the UCD Scholarship office,
Voorhies Hall, Rm. 228. Many undergraduate
scholarships are very restrictive and specific;
for instance, there is one, the Emily L. Vaage
Undergraduate Scholarship in German which
is awarded to an outstanding German major. Students
who are interested in furthering their education
may want to consider the following opportunities:
- Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst
(DAAD) Fellowships. These fellowships
support study in Germany. Although these do
not cover travel expenses, they do provide
the students with an adequate monthly stipend.
- Fulbright Scholarships for Study
in Germany. Fulbright covers travel expenses
to Germany as well as tuition, books, and
daily living costs.
- Congress -
Bundestag Exchange Program. Primarily
intended for young American adults aged 18
to 24 in business, technical, vocational and
agricultural fields, this 12-month, cultural
work-study program is funded by a USA grant
and offers participants an excellent combination
of theory and practical training by providing
two months of intensive language training,
four months of university or technical school
instruction and a five-month paid internship
in the participant's career field. A maximum
of 60 applicants are selected each year. Application
deadline is December 15.
