About the program: The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program is a distinguished international initiative that each year offers accomplished young Americans the opportunity to complete a high-level professional development program in Germany. Over the course of the program, Fellows complete work phases at leading institutions, attend professional seminars, and receive intensive language training. Fellows are recruited from the fields of business administration, cultural management (e.g. museum, theater, orchestra), journalism, law, nonprofit, public policy, urban planning, and other closely related fields. The fellowship provides a generous monthly stipend, health insurance, all program-related travel costs, language training in Germany, and private tutoring in the U.S. on an as-needed basis. German language proficiency is not required at the time of application.
Eligibility: U.S. citizen; Minimum five years of relevant, full-time work experience in target fellowship field (excluding internships); graduate degree preferred; 40 years of age or younger; evidence of outstanding professional performance; sincere commitment to furthering the transatlantic relationship.

Key goals of the Bosch Fellowship Program are to expand the networks of American and German professionals, develop greater intercultural understanding, and advance U.S.-German relations. The application deadline is Nov 1, 2013.
