application letter must not be longer than one page. In the application, students should detail their experience and background in studying the German language, culture, and history and their motivation and plans for their study period abroad. Applicants need
to provide a letter of acceptance or equivalent for (summer) courses or a study program at a university in a German-speaking country. Normally students would apply in a given year, if their course(s) or the program starts between April of that year and March
of the following year. </span></p>

citizens and need a visa for their stay abroad need to provide evidence of having met all visa requirements before the Travel Grant can be released. Award recipients are expected to write a two-page informal report about their studies at a German-speaking
university and their experiences and learning in the country and submit it to the e-mail address of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies at the latest one month after completing their study abroad.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; "> </span></p>
