Please ensure that your nominating teacher sends the electronic recommendation on time as well. Incomplete applications cannot be considered.
After careful review of all applications and supporting materials, the Foundation selection committee will hold interviews on a Saturday approximately one week after applications fall due. You will be notified by email as to the time and venue of your interview. The interview will last about half an hour. The interviewers' questions will address your past experience with German and your future plans. Expect several questions in German, to be answered in German.
