Fellows are mentored by a host that fellows have to select themselves before applying.

Also, fellows participate in a two-week study tour of Germany, the Foundation’s annual meeting with a reception held by the Federal President, and a meeting in Berlin, which includes a reception at the Federal Chancellery.

在刚刚过去的4月28日-4月30日，来自五个国家，通过网上申请初选的候选人齐聚德国科隆，参加最终遴选，遴选会由个人面试和小组讨论部分组成，在连续两天的紧张选拔后，今年中国区获奖者得以揭晓，最终有10位候选人胜出，他们将于今年秋季赴德国开启一年的德国总理奖学金之旅。
From April 28 to April 30, 2019, candidates who passed the primary selection came to Cologne in Germany to take part in the final selection. After two consecutive days of strained selection, the new German Chancellor Fellows from China were selected, and they will start their one-year fellowship starting this fall.
10位获奖者背景多元
10 fellows from China have diverse backgrounds
今年中国十五位被邀请参加遴选会的候选人全部参加了科隆的面试，继去年之后，今年中国的获奖者再次达到10人满员。本次中国候选人背景相当多元、涉及学界、法律、金融、传媒、卫生、文化、艺术等领域，既有自主创业者，也有高校在读博士。本届获奖者的年龄跨度从25-34岁不等。由此可见，不论来自什么样的专业领域，只要获得学士学位不超过12年都可以申请，且都有获奖的机会。
This year, 15 candidates from China were invited to the selection meeting in Cologne. Again, like last year, this time the number of Chinese fellows reached the limit --- 10 candidates were granted the fellowship. The fellows' fields are diverse, besides academia, they are from law, finance, media, health, culture, art and other fields, some of them are entrepreneurs, some are PhD students. The age of the fellows ranges from 25 to 34 years. Therefore, no matter which field you are from, as long as you have completed a bachelor's degree less than 12 years, then you all have the chance to win the fellowship.
女性获奖者占比4/5
Female accounts for 4/5
今年十位获奖者中，女性占8席，男性占2席。2017年中国所有的获奖者都是女性，2018年十位获奖者中有三位男性。就近三年的情况看，女性申请者/获奖者的数量远多于男性，希望更多的中国优秀男青年踊跃参加未来的申请。
This year, there are 8 women fellows and 2male fellows from China. In 2017, only female fellows were selected, and in 2018, there were three male fellows among the ten. According to the recent three years’ record, we can see that the number of female candidates/fellows is still more than that of men. It is hoped that more outstanding Chinese young men with leadership potentials will actively participate in future applications.
机会难得中国青年当把握
Chinese young people should seize this Great Opportunity!
今年的中国区的申请者数量与往年持平，但申请数量仍为五国中最少，仍有较大提升空间。自2006年德国总理安吉拉·默克尔在首次访华期间，宣布将中国纳入总理奖学金国别考虑范畴之内后，已有百余位中国青年从中受益，增进对德国社会的切身理解。此外，基金会鼓励获奖者与其他具有政经影响力的国家（美国、俄罗斯、印度、巴西）获奖者建立跨国别、跨行业的关系网络，对于成长为未来领导者有所助益。
希望更多的具有领导力潜质的中国青年能够不断追求梦想，勇敢做出改变，成为国际社会的时代弄潮儿。德国总理奖学金将是帮助拓展学术及职业深度广度的难得机遇，你的人生将因此发生积极的改变。在项目期间内，获奖者不仅能在专业领域获得与国际学者及专业人士交流学习的机会，还能结识来自各国各行业的青年才俊，构建自己的社会网络。在德国总理奖为你搭建的国际舞台上，你将有机会让世界听见你的声音，以自己的方式影响世界。
The number of applicants this year has not changed much compared to recent several years’ numbers, and there remains a large potential to grow. Compared to the number of applicants from Brazil, India, United States and Russia, the number of Chinese applicants is still the lowest. Since German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced in 2006 that China will also be included into the area coverage of German Chancellor Fellowship, there have been over 100 fellows who benefited from this opportunity. What’s more, fellows are encouraged to connect with young leaders from other economically and politically influential countries (USA, Russia, India and Brazil) to establish international and interdisciplinary networks, which matters a lot in building oneself to be a future leader.
Hope that more Chinese young people with leadership potentials can chase after their dreams, be brave to make changes, and grow to be the pioneer of the time in the international arena. The German Chancellor Fellowship will be a great opportunity to enhance academic and professional development in your life, and your life will be positively changed. During this fellowship, the fellows may not only get opportunities to communicate with international scholars and professionals from their own professional fields, but also have chance to get to know young talents from various industries in different countries and establish their own social networks. On the international stage set by the German Chancellor Fellowship, you will have the opportunity to make your voice heard by the world and have impact on the world in your own way.

关于海报
About posters
如果你想创作一张好的海报，你应该在海报中包含，比如：图文信息，甚至是三维的。它会让你的海报吸引眼球。另一点非常重要的是突破思维的局限，打开脑洞。
If you want to create a good poster you should, for example, include pictures and texts, maybe even in 3D. It will make your poster very eye-catching. Another important thing is to think out of the box.
