AFM Fellowships
The American Friends of Marbach (AFM) are able to award six summer dissertation fellowships of $4,000 each to Ph.D. candidates from American universities doing research in the field of German Studies at the DLA.
These grants are meant to be taken over the summer break. Two of them have been granted by the Max Kade Foundation in New York; one is named after its donor »The David Detjen Research Grant«; another one is the recently established »Egon Schwarz Research Grant«. In addition, the American Friends of Marbach are able to offer two »AFM Summer Research Grants« out of their own funds.
All grantees benefit from the excellent services that the DLA provides to researchers. Researchers can also participate in a weekly »Stipendiaten-Café«, where international stipend-holders and fellow humanists have the opportunity to network and present their work to one another. Depending on availability, the well-appointed Collegienhaus on the grounds of the DLA offers an excellent option for lodging.
Please submit a 1-2 page project description which should include a brief statement about the relevance of the holdings at the DLA for the project, a current C.V. and arrange for one letter of recommendation from the dissertation adviser to be sent to Prof. Johannes von Moltke (University of Michigan): moltke@umich.edu by April 15, 2022. Decisions will be announced before the end of April.
COVID-19: As of 8 November 2021, the 2G rule (presentation of proof of vaccination or recovery) applies. Should a visitor present a certificate stating that he or she cannot be vaccinated, a PCR test (not older than 48 hours old) will suffice. The obligation to wear a mask in public areas and when moving remains. For the safety of other visitors and our employees, we are unfortunately unable to admit guests who wish to enter our premises without a mask (even if they can present a medical certificate). Please note that the regulations can change at short notice. You can find current information on our website:
