Hear from a Past Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholar

We love hearing from our alumni about their time in Germany! Spring '23 Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholar Delia Rhodes had this to say about her experience with the Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholarship:


“With the help of the Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholarship, I was able to afford to attend one of the top business programs in Germany at the University of Mannheim. I became more comfortable employing my German skills in everyday life and made lifetime friends with whom I can practice. Now, I feel more prepared as a German and business major to find a job in my field, with opportunities available to me both within the United States and abroad. I am incredibly grateful for having received this scholarship.”
