In recent years, the Department of German Studies has enjoyed unusual success in promoting its own graduating seniors (most particularly, its majors and minors) for Fulbright Fellowships to Germany and Austria. Since 1985, we have averaged slightly more than one Fulbright Fellow per year to German-speaking Europe.

The Fulbright Fellowship provides a full stipend for one academic year of study at a foreign university. Perhaps more importantly, it represents a prestigious, life-long distinction which is of inestimable value later in life.

Students are strongly encouraged to begin planning for the Fulbright application as early as possible in their careers at Boston College. All who are interested should consult Professor Michael Resler of the German Studies Department.
