The American Council on Germany (ACG) is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was founded in 1952 to strengthen German-American relations. Today, the ACG works across generations to provide a deeper, more nuanced understanding about Germany, Europe, and the importance of the transatlantic partnership.
Hunt Fellowship
The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship for the Study of German Politics, Society, and Culture, established in 2003, offers a unique opportunity for emerging American scholars to dive deep into the heart of contemporary German society. This prestigious fellowship empowers the next generation of academics to contribute vital insights to the study of Germany’s political, cultural, and social history of Germany. Hunt Fellows embark on transformative journeys, conducting archival research, engaging with local experts, and collaborating with transatlantic peers to gain a richer, more nuanced understanding of Germany’s evolving landscape.
Fellows conduct research toward their Ph.D. dissertations or book projects. This fellowship is designed to enrich the academic journey of early-career professionals, providing not only international experience but also a powerful platform to propel their careers forward.
Fellows receive a $7,000 stipend, covering transatlantic airfare, domestic travel, and room and board for a minimum of 21 days. To maximize this opportunity, fellows will collaborate closely with the ACG to finalize a comprehensive research itinerary before the stipend is disbursed. Fellows have one academic year to complete their travel.

Candidates for the Hunt Fellowship must:
- Be a U.S. citizen residing in the United States;
- Have a minimum of five years of relevant work experience;
- Be in the final stages or have recently completed a Ph.D.; and
