Applications are being invited for German Academic Exchange (DAAD) Fellowships and CU-Heidelberg and CU-Gottingen Exchange Fellowships for 1998-99. The deadline is Monday, Oct. 6.
DAAD fellowships, one or more of which are awarded directly to Cornell annually, carry tuition and fees, monthly stipend and round-trip transportation. They enable students to study at a German university or work on a research project in Germany.
According to DAAD guidelines, "graduating seniors, graduate students and Ph.D. candidates of high academic caliber who are currently enrolled full time . . . and are not older than 32 are invited to apply."
The Graduate Exchange Fellowships to Heidelberg and Gottingen carry tuition and fees plus monthly stipend. Students must arrange for their own transportation. The awards are intended mainly for graduate students interested in full-time study at either university.
Applications for both types of fellowships should include project outline and/or rationale for study abroad, Cornell transcript, two letters of recommendation from professors in the student's field, local address and telephone number. Applicants must have a good knowledge of the German language at the time of application.
Applications are solicited from all academic units of the university and should be sent to Professor Herbert Deinert, 188 Goldwin Smith Hall (255-8356), or to Marguerite Mizelle, 183 Goldwin Smith Hall (255-4047).
