Studying in a German-speaking country:
Sturm Scholarship Award
Sturm Scholarships are available to University of Michigan undergraduate and graduate students who are traveling to a German-speaking country for an overseas experience, such as studying language at a Goethe-Institut.
University of Michigan students who enroll in a German language course at a Goethe-Institut will receive a $250-$1,500 scholarship. The Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures' Executive Committee will determine the Sturm Family Scholarships recipients. Scholarship amounts will be determined based on the student's status as a German major or minor and the length of time the student will be studying at a Goethe Institut. The scholarship guidelines are established each spring for the following twelve months. For example:
- German Majors: $600 per four-week course up to a maximum of $1,500 per twelve-week course
- German Minors: $300 per four-week course up to a maximum of $750 per twelve-week course
- All declared German Majors and Minors: $400 per VIRTUAL course
