The American Council on Germany’s fellowships allow American and German journalists, scholars, and other mid-career professionals from a variety of fields to travel overseas to gain a better understanding of how issues are approached on the other side of the Atlantic. In the process, they can often forge lasting connections with their transatlantic counterparts. Since 1976, more than 1,100 individuals have traveled across the Atlantic to broaden their personal and professional horizons under the auspices of the American Council on Germany’s fellowship programs.
