The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX), a fully-funded fellowship opportunity, is currently accepting applications for the 2018-2019 program year. CBYX is a year-long fellowship that gives students and recent graduates the opportunity to study and work in Germany. This program open to students in all fields of study at all levels, including graduating students.
CBYX is funded by the US and German governments through a grant provided by the US Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, under the authority of the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, as amended. More information and the online application can be found at www.CBYX.info. The CBYX program annually provides up to 75 participants with: • 2 months intensive German language training • Semester of study at a German university or university of applied sciences • 5-month internship with a German company in the participants’ career field • Homestays with German host families, in shared apartments, and student dorms • Transatlantic airfare, health insurance, and monthly living expense stipends • Local in-country support throughout the program Prior German language knowledge is not required. Applicants should have clear career goals and some relevant work experience in their career fields, which may include summer, part-time, or internship work. Participants must be between the ages of 18-24, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, and be US citizens. The application deadline for the 2018-2019 program is December 1, 2017.
