German Chancellor Fellowship: Tuesday, October 15 (Application Deadline)

Are you a graduate with initial leadership experience? Do you come from Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, India, South Africa, or the USA? Would you like to implement a self-chosen project that supports your career development, is societally relevant and has a lasting public impact? Are you interested in actively participating in an international network of dedicated leaders? Then come to Germany with a German Chancellor Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to take the next step of your career.

The fellowship program is under the patronage of the Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. Up to 50 German Chancellor Fellowships are awarded.

The German Chancellor Fellowship offers you an opportunity to take the next career step in Germany – irrespective of your field of work.

* An intensive language course before you begin your fellowship and funding for German courses during your fellowship,
* Individual support during your stay in Germany
* Additional financial support, e.g. for accompanying family members, for travel expenses, for full private health insurance or for an additional German language course
* Extensive alumni sponsorship, particularly to help you sustain contact with collaborative partners in Germany during your entire professional career
