An exchange scholarship is normally offered to Queen's University each year by the German Academic Exchange Service (D.A.A.D.). Under this arrangement a Canadian student nominated by Queen's University will be awarded a scholarship to study at a university in the Federal Republic of Germany. The scholarship amounts to approximately DM 11,000 plus trans-Atlantic travel expenses, and is tenable for one year. Applicants must be Canadian citizens, less than 32 years old, and be either in the final year of their undergraduate program or in a graduate program in any department; the successful applicant must on arrival be able to pass an oral and written examination in the German language set by the host university in Germany.

Applications should be made through the Head, Department of German, before 1 November.

 

Up to fifty Ontario students are selected each year to study at a university in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Students chosen to participate in the program will receive a free month-long intensive German course in Heidelberg and $1500 to reimburse them for their international travel costs, medical insurance, and student activity fees. There are no tuition fees at Baden-Württemberg universities. Students retain eligibility for OSAP and OGS support. The program is open to students in all fields who, at the time they submit their application, are pursuing an undergraduate (in second year of higher) or postgraduate degree program at an Ontario university while abroad. Students who are selected must enrol in a full-time course of study at a Baden-Württemberg university for two semesters (mid-October to mid-July). Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Competence in German appropriate to the field and level of study is required.

Applications must be submitted to the Program Officer in Kingston Hall 412 by 15 January.
