Opportunities for students returning from Germany
DAAD Young Ambassadors:- The DAAD Young Ambassadors Program is a unique and exciting two-semester volunteer opportunity for undergraduate students to promote study and research abroad in Germany at their home universities and colleges.
- In the past Young Ambassadors were invited to New York City to participate in a four-day seminar addressing intercultural communications, presentation skills and marketing
- While the DAAD Young Ambassadors Program is a volunteer opportunity, all event reports are included in a raffle drawing at the end of the academic year; prizes ranging from $20 to $200 awarded in recognition of the volunteer’s time and commitment.
- The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) is a fellowship funded by the German Bundestag and U.S. Congress, that annually provides 75 American and 75 German Young Professionals the opportunity to spend one year in each others' countries, studying, interning, and living with
Fulbright Scholarship
Funding for a future that involves an international focus:
Congratulations on having the openness and courage to study abroad. Those characteristics will serve you well in the coming months and in your future. Those characteristics, along with the knowledge and skills you will add while away, can make you strong candidates for a Fulbright Scholarship or other fellowships mentioned above.
Accomplished students like you can elect to pursue a Fulbright to conduct research, attend a university in a different country or teach English as second language. The Fulbright is among the most prestigious national scholarship programs in the United States. As a result, it is also highly competitive, but Juniatians have enjoyed considerable success over the years. Current or recent Juniata graduates were awarded Fulbrights to Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Vietnam, Russia and Germany.
Thinking about Fulbright before you go abroad allows you to take a step or two toward that goal while in your international setting. If you are interested in research, you can be on the look-out for a potential host or can network with people who can connect you with potential hosts. If you are interested in teaching English, opportunities to tutor, present on U.S. society or culture, and volunteering are seen as valuable by Fulbright’s evaluation teams.
Fulbright scholarships are great opportunities, and even if you don’t win one, the application process teaches you so much that it is worth doing anyway (although we’d love for you to win one).
You can find out much more about the Fulbright Scholarship at http://us.fulbrightonline.org/ . A meeting with Juniata’s Campus Program Advisor —Jim Tuten, Professor of History— before you go abroad can be helpful.

Teaching English in another country:
- Talk with Elliot Hirshon ESL Instructor for advice on how to do this
- Talk to your host institution about what it would take to complete a Master's degree. It might require less time and money than you expect.
