Arnold Heidsieck Scholarship Fund

Are you considering studying abroad in the United States? Well, if you’re in the humanities, and currently enrolled in a German university, the Arnold Heidsieck Scholarship Fund is for you!

The Arnold Heidsieck Scholarship Fund invites applications from BA-students in the humanities who are currently enrolled at a German university and have a focus on German culture, language, history, music, or art in their studies.

In 2016 several scholarships for one or two semesters at universities in the US will be awarded for the third time to aid with travel and living costs abroad. Selection is based on written applications. Deadline for applications: 15 April 2016 for a stipend starting in August or September 2016.

Arnold Heidsieck (1937-2009), philosopher and German philologist, taught as a professor at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Born in Leipzig and raised in Breslau, Heidsieck studied theology in Tübingen and wrote his doctoral dissertation in literary studies at the Freie Universität Berlin. His research initially centred on Kafka and his intellectual contemporaries; his later work focused on German post-war literature and representations of the Holocaust.
