Requirements
- Candidates must be German or non-German individuals employed either continuously in Germany or at one of the DAAD Centres for German and European Studies located outside of the US.
- Candidates must to be either junior or senior in rank. A PhD must have been completed or be under progress for junior applicants.
- To be considered for fellowships within the allotted time, all application materials MUST be submitted in English and received by AGI by the deadline.
- Applicants are ineligible if they have obtained a grant or other form of assistance from the DAAD within three years of the fellowship’s commencement. Applicants connected to the DAAD Centres for German and European Studies are exempt from this.

An explanation of the applicant’s motivations for choosing to visit a certain DAAD centre should be supplied, as the fellowship offers funding for travel to DAAD centres in North America.
