Kurt Hahn Trust: Notice

KURT HAHN TRUST/DAAD SCHOLARSHIP

The German Academic Exchange Service has offered one University of Cambridge Kurt Hahn Trust Scholarship for the academical year 1998-99. The Scholarship will normally be awarded to an outstanding postgraduate student or an undergraduate student at present in his or her final year, of British nationality, who wishes to spend a year in the Republic of Germany on a full course of study or independent research at a university or technical university. Candidates should have a good working knowledge of the German language. Further support for a specialised German language course can be made available as an additional part of the Scholarship. The detailed provisions of the Scholarship can be obtained from the Secretary of the Kurt Hahn Trust, University Offices, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN. The closing date for receipt of applications is 28 November 1997.

AWARDS FOR STUDY IN GERMANY

The Trustees of the Kurt Hahn Trust offer annual awards in the region of £600 towards expenses on courses in Germany designed to improve a student's knowledge of the German language and German culture and institutions. Applicants for these grants must be members of the University of Cambridge: either as undergraduates or graduate students. Students of German in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages are not eligible. Preference will be given to applicants who have British nationality. Academic merit will not be the only consideration: evidence of more than usual enterprise, breadth of interest, and social awareness will also be considered. There is no application form; applicants must send a curriculum vitae and give the aims of their study in Germany, together with details of the level of financial assistance they are seeking. Applicants should ask their College Tutor and a Faculty member to write to the Secretary of the Trust to certify that the award would be of benefit to their academic work, and should give the names of these referees in their application. Applications and references should be sent to the Secretary of the Kurt Hahn Trust, University Offices, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN, by 13 March 1998.

AWARDS TO GERMAN STUDENTS

The Trustees of the Kurt Hahn Trust invite applications for Kurt Hahn Scholarships for the academical year 1998-99. The Scholarships are intended to assist students of German nationality to pursue graduate studies at the University of Cambridge. Scholars, if not already members of the University, will be required to become so before the end of the Michaelmas Term 1997, and will be required to become a candidate for a Cambridge degree or to carry out approved research as part of a degree of their home university.

The Scholarships are tenable for one year only, and its value will depend on the financial circumstances of the Scholar, but will not normally cover the cost of University or College fees. Academic merit will not be the only consideration: evidence of more than usual enterprise, breadth of interest, and social awareness will also be considered.

There is no application form; applicants must send a curriculum vitae and give the aims of their study and indicate any other sources of funding applied for. Applicants should ask two referees to write to the Secretary of the Kurt Hahn Trust in support of their application, and should give the names of these referees in their application. Applications and letters of support should be sent to the Secretary of the Kurt Hahn Trust, University Offices, The Old Schools, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1TN, by 13 March 1998.
