The German Chancellor Fellowship seeks to identify career-oriented individuals from any profession or field of study who, through educational background and professional experience, demonstrate outstanding potential for future leadership. Many alumni now hold prestigious positions in social and policy sciences, government, law, journalism, communications, management, finance, economics, architecture, humanities, public service, and environmental affairs.
Applicants design individual projects tailored to their professional development and goals. They must also identify a German host/mentor who agrees to provide professional assistance throughout the twelve-month program. Ten awards are given annually in the United States. The program also includes fellowships for citizens of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. Prior knowledge of German is not a prerequisite. Fellows are required to attend intensive language training in Germany prior to the start of the fellowship.
Application deadline for 2009-2010 awards: October 31, 2008.
