- 4-night hotel stay from November 13, 2025, through November 17, 2025;
- In addition to the covered travel expenses above, the scholarship benefits will include a dinner with QuantCo.
(Requirements) In order to be eligible for a travel scholarship, you must:
- Be enrolled at a German university, including students currently in an exchange semester at a non-German university. We accept any degree program and any academic year (i.e., first-year to graduate level). In exceptional cases, we will accept applications from German citizens enrolled at a university outside of Germany.
- Be in the top 5% of your program (or Abitur grade in the top 5% for first-year students), as demonstrated by grades/transcripts or scholarships/awards.
- Obtain the proper visa or travel authorization to the US (e.g., ESTA, if applicable). Please see the US State Department’s Travel website for more information.
- Have or obtain international travel health insurance coverage.
- Cover your own travel to and from the airports.
- Accept that the travel scholarship will be voided if the conference is canceled, held remotely or at a university in Germany.
- Agree to inform QuantCo by September 30, 2025, if you decide not to attend the GAC (so that we can award your travel scholarship to a runner-up).
- Optional: Give QuantCo consent to store your resume.
To apply, submit your application with a 1-page resume and transcripts, if available, by August 1st, 2025.
QuantCo and the GAC
The 2025 German American Conference offers a compelling opportunity for attendees to connect with leaders from both sides of the Atlantic. QuantCo can attest to the GAC’s impact, as many of our current and former colleagues have been speakers or organizers. As such, we want to help strengthen and foster more transatlantic relationships by bringing German students to the Conference.
If you have any questions about the scholarship, please reach out to travel-scholarship@quantco.com.
