This course allows you to improve your language skills at Germany’s oldest university with students from all over the world. There are a variety of course levels from which to choose, and they all fit into an annual theme. This year's theme is “Global Dynamics - Challenges and Chances” and it will take place from August 1 - 28, 2024.
We are seeking candidates with a strong academic background who can also fulfill the role of ambassador for HAUS upon their return from their study abroad experience. HAUS Scholarship Candidates must meet the following requirements:
- 18 years or older and enrolled at a U.S. university

Note: Students currently enrolled at Heidelberg University or who are already receiving a scholarship from a different source are not eligible for the HAUS Summer School Scholarship.
The application for the 2024 course is now closed. The 2025 application will open in early 2025.
Testimonials
I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to study German in the Internationale Ferienkurs at Universität Heidelberg. Learning German in Germany related what I learned in our daily classes to the world around me. I met so many amazing people from all over the world, all connected by a passion for learning German. I will always be grateful to HAUS for allowing me to have this amazing study abroad experience.
Madeleine Watts, HAUS Summer School Scholarships Recipient 2019
The Heidelberg International Ferienkurs was a fantastic experience for me. Not only did I radically improve my German by living in the language, I also got to meet amazing people from all over the world – including the other HAUS scholars in the Sprachkurs, who have become dear friends. My time in Heidelberg was unforgettable, marked by beautiful views, shared meals at the Mensa and Heidelberg’s many restaurants, and conversations on the 31 bus. I am so thankful that the HAUS Summer School Scholarship allowed me to experience this wonderful month!
