Bosch and Alfa Fellowships Info Session

October 10, 2017 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program is a distinguished transatlantic initiative that offers a select cohort of accomplished Americans the opportunity to complete a comprehensive intercultural professional program in Germany. The program is comprised of three main components: individual professional assignments, professional seminars, and German language training. The program is fully funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, one of the largest foundations in Germany, with the goal of fostering a community of American leaders who have first-hand experience in the political, economic and cultural environment of Germany and the European Union. Bosch Fellows complete professional assignments in their field of expertise at leading public or private institutions in Germany. In addition, they participate in professional seminars, where they travel to meet and exchange ideas with experts and decision makers from Germany and Europe. Prior to their professional assignments and seminars, Bosch Fellows receive private tutoring prior to their departure for Germany and participate in 8 weeks of intensive language courses in Berlin. Fellows are from the fields of public policy and administration, foreign and security policy, urban and regional planning, business, journalism and communications, law, or cultural and arts management (ex. museum, theater, orchestra). The application deadline is November 1.  For more information and to review eligibility requirements, please visit: www.culturalvistas.org/bosch.

The program includes language training, seminar and lecture series, and extended professional experience. Fellows receive a generous monthly stipend, all program related-travel costs, accommodation, and insurance. Russian language proficiency is preferred though not required at the time of application. The annual application deadline is December 1. For more information, please visit: alfafellowship.org
