Our Mission
The mission of the DAAD Alumni Association USA is to strengthen transatlantic ties between DAAD Germany and DAAD alumni, both in the United States and abroad. We strive to share and expand knowledge of German culture among DAAD alumni and American students and institutions. To achieve these goals and support future students who share our interests, the DAAD Alumni Association USA awards scholarships that enable students at US universities to study and/or conduct research in Germany.
​
Through newsletters, social media posts, educational workshops, member meetings, conference participation, and joint programs with German-oriented organizations, the DAAD Alumni Association USA seeks to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Germany.
We are part of a global network of DAAD Alumni Associations. You can also find us under the DAAD Alumni Services
