The Robert Bosch Foundation--2001-2002 Work/Study Fellowship Program   

The Robert Bosch Foundation annually sponsors an intensive work/study
fellowship program in Germany. The goal of the program is to strengthen
the ties of friendship and understanding between the United States and
the Federal Republic of Germany. The fellowship program enables
outstanding young American professionals to acquire a quality, in-depth
understanding of the political, economic, and cultural environment of
Europe and especially Germany.

Internships: The Fellows will be offered internships in such key German
    institutions as the Federal Government, the Federal Parliament and
    headquarters of private corporations, mass media and other agencies
    related to government or commerce. The Foundation will make every 
    reasonable effort to secure positions for the Fellows that are
    related to their professional goals. The Program consists of two work
    phases and three seminars. The first work phase is in the public
    sector and the second is in the private sector. The three seminars:
    a four-week introductory seminar in Bonn in conjunction with a special
    German language course, a two-week seminar in Berlin and Brandenburg
    and a two-week seminar in Paris and Brussels will be held over the 
    nine-month period.

Eligible: Applicants must be U.S. citizens who have a graduate degree and
    professional experience or equivalent professional experience in business
    administration, economics, public affairs/public policy, political
    science, law, journalism or mass communications. Knowledge of German
    is strongly recommended, but not required.

Period: The fellowship year lasts nine months, beginning in September and
    ending in May of the following year. The first work phase runs from 
    October-December and the second, from January-May.

Amount: Round-trip transportation (between U.S. points only) for
    candidates invited for interviews. All program related travel costs,
    including round-trip air transportation between their U.S. residence 
    and Germany and fees for language training. Also, Fellows will receive
    DM 3,500 per month to cover expenses incurred for food and lodging
    and limited health and accident insurance during the nine-month
    Fellowship Program. Married participants whose spouses accompany them 
    are entitled to receive a monthly supplement.
