As the countries of the world become more interdependent, the Robert Bosch Foundation recognizes the importance of familiarizing American professionals with the political, economic, and cultural environment of Europe in general and of the Federal Republic of Germany in particular. To further this goal and to strengthen the ties of friendship and understanding between the United States and Germany, the Foundation sponsors a Fellowship Program which enables young American professionals to participate in an intensive work and study program in Germany. Although a prime goal of this program is the advancement of transatlantic relations, it also contributes to the participants' professional competence and expertise, and broadens their cultural horizons.

Bosch Fellows complete executive-level internships in such key German institutions as the Federal Government, the Federal Parliament, headquarters of private corporations, major German media, and other institutions in Germany. They normally work at a high executive level. The Foundation will make every reasonable effort to secure positions for fellows related to their professional goals and interests.

Candidates for the program are competitively chosen from the fields of Business Administration, Economics, Journalism and Mass Communications, Law, Political Science and Public Affairs/Public Policy. German language fluency is required at the beginning of the program in September. If needed, language training will be provided. The program runs from September to 2007.
