Monash Students Successful in German Scholarship Applications
A number of students in German Studies have been successful in applying for scholarships funded by the German government through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst). Congratulations to all!
1. One-Semester Scholarships for University Students Reading German Studies
These one-semester scholarships provide foreign students reading German studies with an opportunity to spend a semester studying at a German university. These scholarships are awarded to excellently qualified students, when they begin the scholarship-supported semester, have successfully completed their second or third academic year, and have a convincing presentation of the academic motives for the planned study semester in Germany (usually an outline of their Honours project).
The students who have been awarded this highly regarded and highly competitive scholarship in 2009 are:
- Sam Cuff
- Stacey Kazakis
2. University Winter Course Grant
In co-operation with the universities of Essen, Freiburg, Leipzig and the Freie Universitaet Berlin the DAAD offers scholarships to participate in a "Deutschlandkundlicher Winterkurs". This program is designed for Southern hemisphere students and young academics with a sound knowledge of German and some background in German studies who are interested in improving their language skills and understanding of contemporary affairs. Courses last 6 weeks. These grants are awarded to excellently-qualified undergraduates.
The successful applicants for 2009 are:
- Samuel Martin
- Melissa Molloy
- Lynette Phuong
- Drew Teese
