German universities respond to Hurricane Katrina with scholarships and funding for displaced students and faculty: "The scholarships may be used for periods of study and research in Germany between now and January 31, 2006, and will be awarded on a rolling basis.

In addition to these scholarships for individuals, DAAD will provide 100,000 euros to German universities to help them fund student and faculty exchange with their partner universities in the affected area. Affected US institutions are encouraged to get in touch with their German partner universities to assess needs and opportunities.
