German minor student Khadijah Gray has won a highly competitive DAAD fellowship that funds her one-year-exchange at the University of Oldenburg, Germany, a partner of Florida State University. The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) is the equivalent of the American Fulbright and sponsors scholars from the whole world at all stages in their careers for research and study in Germany. Financing for extended stays such as Khadijah’s is extremely sought-for and, given the large number of applications world-wide, only a relatively small pool of candidates receives scholarships every year. Aside from her German minor, Khadijah is a junior studying International Affairs. In Oldenburg, she will take courses on German language and literature, in European and German Political Studies, and on International Relations. We wish her the best of luck!
