UROP at Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen
Saturday, January 31 Application Deadline. UROP, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, fosters research partnerships between qualified undergraduate students from US and Canadian universities and professional researchers at RWTH Aachen University. RWTH Aachen University is one of the top academic institutions of science and engineering in Germany and worldwide.
Students will conduct their own independent research project in the university's research facilities and labs for a period of eight to ten weeks. They will thus become an integral part of the research team while being mentored by academic staff.
The programs duration is ten weeks. The first two weeks are dedicated to an intensive German language course and an introduction to research and culture. Weeks 3 to 10 are settled around the research internship at one of the faculties of RWTH Aachen University. Leisure activities will be offered to ensure the students' integration and exposure to German culture and the international community on campus.
Prior knowledge of German is not required for program admission. However, the language class is an integral part of the program, and every student is obliged
to take part in the German course. Students are only admitted to their research projects after successful participation in the intensive course during the
first two weeks (20 hours/week).
Students will continue to learn German while carrying out their projects, though with a reduced number of hours (6 hours/week). Students with prior
German knowledge will be placed in classes according to their language skills.
All communication will be in English---and it is therefore not possible to earn credits for German 351 through this project.
Projects are offered in all different kinds of research fields. The current list of projects that are open for application can be found on the program's
website at: <www.rwth-aachen.de/urop>
A UROP project is an independent research project and usually constitutes one part within a larger research project. Students will therefore become part of
an established research team. The workload comprises eight weeks of full-time project work.
Students do not have to pay any fees besides a service fee of 50 Euros. Students will have to cover their travel and accommodation costs as well as
insurance fees and living expenses. There are 30 scholarships available which will be awarded to students with an outstanding academic record (subject to a GPA of 3.2 or higher and a letter of recommendation). Scholarships are primarily reserved for students from partner universities (Michigan is a partner university of Aachen). The scholarships will amount to 1.850 Euros covering the basic living expenses during their stay abroad. Students will be notified whether they have been considered for a scholarship by the end of February 2009.
Program dates for 2009: May 25 - July 31. The application deadline is January 31, 2009.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a certificate for both their research project and the language class. The entire program is coordinated by the International Office of RWTH Aachen University, which will assist the students in all administrative matters.
SATURDAY, JAN 31
DAAD Scholarship: Summer Journalism Seminar/Internship Program
Are you interested in journalism? The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce the second year of an intensive scholarship-supported summer seminar/internship program in Berlin for American journalism and communications students. We would be delighted and very grateful if you could help us spread the word about this exciting new opportunity among your students, faculty and fellow staff. The program is targeted primarily at currently enrolled undergraduate students, but a limited number of graduating Seniors, recent graduates and Master's students may be accepted as well.
For the first six weeks of the program, participants will take part in a seminar series to expand their academic understanding of the politics, society and culture of Germany, and the country's current social conditions and media scene. The final five weeks consist of an intensive internship with a German newspaper, magazine, radio station or PR firm in or near Berlin. A complete program schedule will be available soon on the program website.
Applicants must have at least "advanced intermediate" German skills to take part in the program, as the seminars and internships take place in the German language. The 20 applicants who are finally selected for the program will be awarded a monthly stipend of 650 Euros for the duration of their stay in Germany. DAAD will also provide participants a partial travel subsidy of 650-975 Euros (depending on US city of origin) towards the cost of international transportation to Germany; travel costs not covered by the partial subsidy must be paid by the individual program participants themselves. DAAD will also provide health and accident insurance. There will be a program fee of 140 Euros.
The application deadline is January 31, 2009. The 40 applicants who are invited to a selection interview in New York City (in early March) will
receive up to $300 toward the cost of their flight to the interview location. To find out about eligibility and the application requirements, please

SUMMER IN SOUTH ASIA: Undergraduate Fellowship Program at UM Preliminary Application Deadline
TheCenter for South Asian Studies offers a special opportunity to chart your own course in India…
Thanks to a special grant available to the Center for South Asian Studies, undergraduate students at UM have an opportunity to design and carry out their own fellowship programs in India during the summer. This fellowship is intended for non-graduating students who have not already spent significant amounts of time in India. The program is designed to be flexible: you tell us what you want to study, design a program to accomplish your goals, and we will fund the best proposals to cover most of your costs. The Center for South Asian Studies will assist you in connecting with organizations based in India as well as contacting and working with faculty members affiliated with CSAS when devising your proposal.
Examples of Possible Programs: Internships in business, social work, government, or education; Work with a NGO on women's issues, diversity, deforestation, cultural or religious projects, AIDS, urbanization, or similar issues. For example, students interested in medicine might do an internship at a hospital or intern in a public health program; Do preliminary work for an honor's thesis; Seek out an apprenticeship that complements your academic work. For instance, an art or art history student might apprentice with a master Indian artist or artisan.
We strongly encourage students to work with existing institutions, agencies, or organizations, but working as an individual may also be acceptable. If you don’t
already have a partner organization in mind our staff can help you research organizations in India that might be good matches for your interests. Students should work with CSAS faculty associates while developing their proposals. You will reach your project goals more effectively by learning from their expertise and ideas. Proposals will be accepted from individuals or from groups of two (2) students. The Center for South Asian Studies will select approximately six applicants and provide each with funding up to $3000 to cover travel and costs in India.

UROP at Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen
Saturday, January 31 Application Deadline. UROP, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, fosters research partnerships between qualified undergraduate students from US and Canadian universities and professional researchers at RWTH Aachen University. RWTH Aachen University is one of the top academic institutions of science and engineering in Germany and worldwide.
Students will conduct their own independent research project in the university's research facilities and labs for a period of eight to ten weeks. They will thus become an integral part of the research team while being mentored by academic staff.
The programs duration is ten weeks. The first two weeks are dedicated to an intensive German language course and an introduction to research and culture. Weeks 3 to 10 are settled around the research internship at one of the faculties of RWTH Aachen University. Leisure activities will be offered to ensure the students' integration and exposure to German culture and the international community on campus.
Prior knowledge of German is not required for program admission. However, the language class is an integral part of the program, and every student is obliged
to take part in the German course. Students are only admitted to their research projects after successful participation in the intensive course during the
first two weeks (20 hours/week).
Students will continue to learn German while carrying out their projects, though with a reduced number of hours (6 hours/week). Students with prior
German knowledge will be placed in classes according to their language skills.
All communication will be in English---and it is therefore not possible to earn credits for German 351 through this project.
Projects are offered in all different kinds of research fields. The current list of projects that are open for application can be found on the program's
website at: <www.rwth-aachen.de/urop>
A UROP project is an independent research project and usually constitutes one part within a larger research project. Students will therefore become part of
an established research team. The workload comprises eight weeks of full-time project work.
Students do not have to pay any fees besides a service fee of 50 Euros. Students will have to cover their travel and accommodation costs as well as
insurance fees and living expenses. There are 30 scholarships available which will be awarded to students with an outstanding academic record (subject to a GPA of 3.2 or higher and a letter of recommendation). Scholarships are primarily reserved for students from partner universities (Michigan is a partner university of Aachen). The scholarships will amount to 1.850 Euros covering the basic living expenses during their stay abroad. Students will be notified whether they have been considered for a scholarship by the end of February 2009.
Program dates for 2009: May 25 - July 31. The application deadline is January 31, 2009.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a certificate for both their research project and the language class. The entire program is coordinated by the International Office of RWTH Aachen University, which will assist the students in all administrative matters.

A complete program schedule will be available soon on the program website.
Applicants must have at least "advanced intermediate" German skills to take part in the program, as the seminars and internships take place in the German language. The 20 applicants who are finally selected for the program will be awarded a monthly stipend of 650 Euros for the duration of their stay in Germany. DAAD will also provide participants a partial travel subsidy of 650-975 Euros (depending on US city of origin) towards the cost of international transportation to Germany; travel costs not covered by the partial subsidy must be paid by the individual program participants themselves. DAAD will also provide health and accident insurance. There will be a program fee of 140 Euros.
The application deadline is January 31, 2009. The 40 applicants who are invited to a selection interview in New York City (in early March) will
