On their way into a bright future.
With German.

Learning German at a young age opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities. German language skills facilitate access to a tuition-free college education in Germany as well as highly skilled jobs with German companies. Yet, many public schools have stopped offering German language classes in recent years. Help interested youth learn the German language and expand their cultural horizons by taking scholarship-based courses at our institutes in Boston, New York and San Francisco.

Where I come from, very few people speak German. The language was far from something I’d ever expected to learn. Because of this scholarship program, I am working toward completing my second German class. I never would have had this opportunity.

An immersive educational experience in a foreign country can have a transformational positive effect on a young student. The German American Partnership Program is the largest, most successful bilateral student exchange program between the US and another country. Through GAPP, groups of American high school students travel to Germany for two or more weeks to study at their partner schools and live with local host families.

This trip has shown me a whole new world and with it, memories and a culture that is deeper than I imagined. Traveling to a foreign country to improve mutual understanding by living with people, learning that with a little respect and tolerance in the world, we would be able to solve many of the world’s problems.

German universities are tuition-free, offer a world-class education, and feature distinguished STEM programs. Studying in Germany gives students an excellent foundation for a successful career anywhere in the world. Our Study Bridge program provides German academic and language preparation to high school juniors who plan to earn a university degree in Germany. Scholarship candidates must demonstrate outstanding achievements in STEM subjects.
