Fellowship Program

After more than a decade, the American Academy’s residential fellowship program remains at the core of its institutional activities and events. Each semester about a dozen fellows from a wide variety of fields arrive at the Hans Arnhold Center for semester-long residencies. If you are interested in applying for a fellowship at the American Academy in Berlin, please consult the “Applications” section of our website. The digital application and guidelines for the 2011–2012 competition are available here. Details on the selection cycle for the following year will be available in June 2011.
