Internship Awards

University of Michigan students who have accepted an internship in a German-speaking country will receive a $100 - $1,000 fellowship for their internship experience. More money will be awarded to students who have unpaid internships and to those students who are majors and minors in the German Department. 

How to Apply

Department funding is available through Sturm scholarship funds. You may submit one application by April 1 to be considered for funds. 

Criteria and Review

Applications will be considered by our undergraduate advisors. The Department's Executive Committee will approve funding recommendations. Funds will be awarded to students who demonstrate academic excellence and genuine financial need.

* Students who receive full funding from DAAD RISE German will not be eligible for additional funding from the German Department.

Additional Funding Opportunities

LSA has internship funding available for all LSA students. 

Engineering students may also apply here for additional internship funding. 

**Financial assistance from all sources during the academic year (September thru August) factors into the ongoing review of your financial aid eligibility now and in the future. This includes periods when you may not be actively enrolled in courses, and includes the spring/summer term following graduation. If your total financial aid, including any new offer, exceeds your eligibility for financial assistance this academic year, your aid may be limited in a future term or reduced from previously received assistance. You can learn more about financial aid terms and conditions on the Office of Financial Aid's website. If you have questions or want to consult with someone about your particular situation, please contact OFA.
