satisfactory progress toward your degree while in Germany.

the pdf-application form, fill in the required fields on-line and then
print the form for your signature. If you choose to use the word
document-application form, write/print using black ink or

faculty who know your academic work for a recommendation. If you
studied German recently, include one faculty member who has had you in a

Scholarship Committee to be aware of as they make awards. Be as specific ass
possible in describing the amount of scholarship aid you will need to make study
in Germany possible. If you are already receiving financial aid, be aware
