The OSU Undergraduate Fellowship Office is hosting an information session about the DAAD-RISE fellowship.

What is the DAAD-RISE program?

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) funds paid summer STEM research experiences in Germany for sophomores and juniors from US, Canadian, and UK universities. Undergraduate students are mentored by doctoral students at Germany’s top research institutions. Summer internships last 2.5-3 months and no German language skills are required. RISE awardees also attend a 3-day meeting in Heidelberg in July with travel funded by DAAD RISE.

Information Session: October 17

On Thursday, October 17 at 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. on Zoom, the Undergraduate Fellowship Office is holding an information session and workshop for DAAD-RISE. We’ll discuss the objectives of the awards, eligibility requirements, and application components. Participants will also engage in guided brainstorming processes to generate content for application essays.

If you plan to attend, please register for the DAAD-RISE information session here.
