- Be in the top 5% of your program (or Abitur grade in the top 5% for first-year students), as demonstrated by grades/transcripts or scholarships/awards.

- Have or obtain international travel health insurance coverage.
- Cover your own travel to and from the airports.
- Accept that the travel scholarship will be voided if the conference is canceled, held remotely or at a university in Germany.
- Agree to inform QuantCo by September 30, 2025, if you decide not to attend the GAC (so that we can award your travel scholarship to a runner-up).
- Optional: Give QuantCo consent to store your resume.
To apply, submit your application with a 1-page resume and transcripts, if available, by August 1st, 2025.
QuantCo and the GAC
The 2025 German American Conference offers a compelling opportunity for attendees to connect with leaders from both sides of the Atlantic. QuantCo can attest to the GAC’s impact, as many of our current and former colleagues have been speakers or organizers. As such, we want to help strengthen and foster more transatlantic relationships by bringing German students to the Conference.
