Founded in 1908, the German-American Scholarship Association (formerly Germanistic Society of America) has promoted cultural and educational exchange between Germany and the United States. Since 1961 the Association’s Quadrille Fellowship program has supported more than 700 outstanding German and American graduate and undergraduate students in the pursuit of their studies at German or U.S. universities. The funds are raised through the annual Quadrille Ball. The stipend recipients are chosen in cooperation with the Institute of International Education in New York, the German American Fulbright Commission, and Columbia University. The German-American Scholarship Association Inc. is a 501(c)3 Non-profit organization. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
