American Council on Germany
Over the past 30 years, more than 700 American and German journalists, scholars, and other mid-level professionals in a variety of fields have been given the opportunity to travel overseas and broaden their personal and professional horizons under the auspices of the American Council on Germany’s fellowship programs. Today, roughly 40 Americans and Germans travel each year through five distinct fellowships, gaining a better understanding of how issues are approached on the other side of the Atlantic and forging lasting connections with their transatlantic counterparts and fellowship alumni alike.
Three fellowship programs enable journalists to explore issues of common concern for Americans and Europeans in depth while broadening their personal and professional perspectives overseas: the McCloy Fellowship in Journalism, the ACG Journalism Fellowship, and the Anna-Maria and Stephen M. Kellen Fellowship.
The ACG also supports the work of promising American scholars who are studying important elements of the transatlantic relationship from both historical and contemporary standpoints through the Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship for the Study of German and European Economic and International Affairs and the Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship for the Study of German Politics, Society, and Culture.
Other mid-level professionals in the fields of agriculture, art, environmental affairs, and urban affairs are enabled to draw upon the local expertise of their transatlantic counterparts and cull best practices overseas through the McCloy Fellowship program.
Each of the ACG’s fellowships provides fellows with a per diem stipend of $150 for up to 28 days; transatlantic airfare and approved inter-city travel are also covered.
