The Hroswaith Fund for Study in the German-speaking Countries
Summer Language Study Program
Funding from this award must be used for student travel to/from and participation in an intensive, immersive summer language course. Preference will be given to programs held in Germany, Austria, or German-speaking Switzerland, but upon request and application, high-quality programs located in the U.S. (such as Middlebury) are also eligible. The award process follows the guidelines of Office of Student Fellowships; the summer language course grant can be combined with smaller grants from Hroswaith administered by the department as well as grants from other funding sources.
