Are you a SOPHOMORE or JUNIOR thinking about studying abroad in Germany
next year ­ in Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 or for the academic year?
 
Learn about the DAAD Undergraduate Scholarship, which provides a monthly
award of approximately $850 for one to two semesters (four to six months)
to help you meet the costs of studying in Germany. Last year
3 UMD students received this award! Highly qualified undergraduate
students are invited to apply for scholarships funding study abroad in
Germany. The goal of this program is to support study abroad in Germany
and at German universities. Preference will be given to students whose
programs are based at and organized by a German university. Scholarships
are available either for students taking part in an organized study abroad
program or for those planning an individual, student-designed study abroad
semester or year. The National Scholarships Office ­ [log in to unmask]
