AATG Fall Meetings

By Veronika Burney, AATG Director of Programs

In 2022, a total of 144 students went abroad for three-to-four-week study abroad stays through programs organized by AATG and our German partners. We invite you to read more about each program and hear from some of our participants. All our study abroad programs are educational programs that include classes in Germany and homestays with German families, as well as excursions and visits to cultural and historical sites. Students also enjoy ample free time with their German and American peers and their host families to explore leisure activities in Germany.

NGE Scholarship

The National German Exam Scholarship (formerly Study Trip Award) has been offered for over 60 years by the Federal Republic of Germany, through the German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) and its Pedagogical Exchange Service (Pädagogischer Austauschdienst). After a two-year hiatus, AATG and PAD were finally able to award National German Exam participants with this prestigious scholarship again in 2022. Students in the International Group (Internationales Preisträgerprogramm) traveled through Germany with prizewinners from other countries for four weeks. Students who were part of the Deutschland Plus program traveled to Germany for a three-week stay with their fellow scholarship recipients and a US chaperone.
