The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program
The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program: Fostering a Community of Transatlantic Leaders
Over the past twenty years, the Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program has enabled over 300 young American professionals to acquire an in-depth understanding of the political, economic, and cultural environment of Germany and European Union. The nine-month program consists of three seminars and two work phases, during which fellows complete executive-level internships in major German institutions, including the Federal Government, the Federal Parliament, headquarters of private corporations, think-tanks, and media and cultural organizations. Seven months of German language training in the U.S. and Berlin are provided prior to the start of the program in September. Fellows receive a living stipend of EURO 1,800 per month, with additional funds available for spouses and children. Through their work experience and seminars taking place all over Europe, Bosch Fellows acquire invaluable professional experience and develop an enduring commitment to the transatlantic relationship.
Bosch Fellows are competitively chosen from five fields: Business Administration/Economics, Journalism/Mass Communications, Law, Political Science, and Public Affairs/ Public Policy. Applicants must be U.S. citizens between the ages of 23 and 34 and, ideally, have completed a graduate degree prior to the beginning of the program. Strong candidates will also possess 2+ years of relevant work experience. Knowledge of German is not required at the time of application.
Applications must be received no later than October 14, 2007 for the program beginning in September 2008.
