Fred & Ruth Stork Awards in German Studies

Status: Active

Scholarship type: Undergraduate, Masters, Doctoral

Citizenship status: Canadian, Permanent Resident, International/Visa Student, Aboriginal

Category: Institutional

Term deadline: March 10, 2014 (Winter)

Award description

Awards are presented annually based on the students’ participation in a recognized institutional, Canadian-organized German language or cultural studies program abroad:

The WCGS International Opportunities UWaterloo Travel Grants, valued from $500 up to $1,500 per student, are awarded annually to full-time undergraduate or graduate students registered within the first four years of their program at the University of Waterloo and taking at least one Germanic and Slavic Studies course. Interested students must complete an application by March 10.


Eligibility Criteria

-  Students who have or will have completed at least one course in German Studies at the University of Waterloo before beginning their study abroad and who have registered for courses or a study-abroad program (approved by their Department) at a university in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland are eligible to apply for the WCGS International Opportunities UWaterloo Travel Grants.

Application procedure and adjudication

In addition to the award description and eligibility criteria given above, we are providing some information about the exact application procedure:

Students submit an application to the Waterloo Centre for German Studies as an e-mail attachment (PDF only) to wcgs at uwaterloo.ca. The 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.

Applications will be adjudicated by the Executive Committee of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies. Successful applicants who are not Canadian 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.
