USA scholarships for students in the humanities: With the Arnold Heidsieck Scholarship Fund, the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS supports one to two semesters of study abroad at universities in the United States. The scholarships are available for bachelor students in the humanities who are enrolled at a German university and whose studies focus on German culture, language, history, music or art.
2024 will see scholarships subsidizing travel and accommodation costs awarded for the tenth time. The application deadline for study abroad in the 2024/2025 academic year is 30 April 2024. The call for applications can be found here.
The scholarship program of the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS serves to promote interdisciplinary exchange in the humanities and social sciences as well as exchange between Germany and the USA, a country with which the foundation has traditionally had close ties.
The program is named after Arnold Heidsieck (1937-2009), philosopher and German philologist who taught as 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 centered on Kafka and his intellectual contemporaries; his later work focused on German post-war literature and representations of the Holocaust.
