2023 Annual Funded Programs
AATG is committed to increasing access to programs and has redesigned the application process for almost all of our member support programs. The process should be transparent, accessible, and free of unnecessary administrative hurdles. We're working hard to make member services and funding available to students, teachers, and institutions to support German in the US.
These programs are made possible by generous support of grants and donations, showing the dedication of our partners and the impact that donations make. Some programs require membership login.
Herzlichst,
Michael R. Shaughnessy, Ph.D.
Executive Director of the AATG
