The fellows must have shown outstanding potential for future leadership in their previous careers. The program is established under the patronage of the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and addresses applicants from all professions and fields of study giving preference to the humanities, law, social and economic sciences.
The aim of the programme is to give young leaders from the countries mentioned above the opportunity to spend an extended period of time in Germany at an early stage in their careers. After returning to their careers in their home countries, they have the potential to become - because of their intensive experiences in Germany - intermediaries between their home countries and Germany as they assume important positions in the fields of economics, science, politics and society.

The CGI U Outstanding Commitment Awards, made possible by Walmart, are grants given to exceptional student Commitments to Action aimed at improving communities and lives around the world.

- Short (150 word) essays on how your commitment is innovative & sustainable, your partnerships, plans for implementation, impact, and experience.
- Other:
- Timeline, including key milestones

- Fiscal sponsor
We don't fund: dissertations, internships, staff salaries, personal stipends, or research without a tangible action component. In most cases, we’re also unlikely to cover travel or large organizational capacity-building grants.
If you are a recipient of a CGI U Outstanding Commitment Award, you will need a 501c3 fiscal sponsor who can process your grant. This fiscal sponsor can be an academic department, a center on campus, or a non-profit in your local community. If you are an international applicant, you will also be required to identify a fiscal sponsor which is a tax-exempt organization similar to a 501c3 in the US.
These scholarships are aimed at college students, but others have been sponsored occasionally.
Each year the Michigan Botanical Club spends the Memorial Day weekend hiking and botanizing in different parts of the Great Lakes region. This year, we will be in the Niles, Michigan area, which has many amazing sites little knows to the public. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the native spring flora and other aspects of local natural history. Field trips will be lead by professional botanists and some very experienced amateurs in a wide range of habitats and vegetation types. And, for the first time, we will offer a recreational tree climbing course.
A typical foray weekend consists of illustrated evening lectures about the area (Friday-Sunday) followed by half-day or full-day field trips on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, we offer half-day trips for those who do not have to leave early. The scholarship consists of assistance with: registration fees, housing and most meals for the weekend.
