The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) is a fellowship funded by the German Bundestag and U.S. Department of State, that annually provides 75 American and 75 German young professionals, between the ages of 18-24, the opportunity to spend one year in each other’s countries, studying, interning, and living with hosts on a cultural immersion program. One of our University of Michigan German graduates in April 2024 won this fellowship for 2024/2025.
The program consists of three phases:
* Two months of intensive German language training
* One semester of classes in one’s academic or career field at a university, technical or professional school
* Three-month internships in one’s career field
CBYX is open to candidates in all career fields who are interested in a year of academic, professional, and cultural exchange.
Benefits:
* Round-trip international airfare
* Language school costs for two months of intensive German language study
* Tuition costs for four months of study
* Housing costs for host family, apartment, or dormitory during the pre-internship phases
* Monthly stipend to cover basic costs of living
* Program-related travel within Germany
* Health insurance in Germany
Note: program funding during the internship depends on earnings.
