Building bridges between America and Europe – this is the aim of the McCloy Academic Scholarship Program. This is also one of the aims of the Haniel Foundation in supporting one of seven scholarships since 2002. The McCloy programme provides the opportunity to take a two-year Master’s degree course at Harvard University and allows participants to gain an excellent insight into the society, politics and economy of the USA. The German scholars can establish international contacts in the process.
School for the elite
The Master's course at Harvard Kennedy School lasts two years and includes an internship. The scholars receive either the Master of Public Administration or the Master of Public Policy degree. Graduates in any subject can apply to the German National Academic Foundation. The foundation established the programme together with Harvard University and the Volkswagen Foundation over 25 years ago.
