The SAIS community is represented by the Verein der Freunde der Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe e.V. which is a registered association in Germany, staffed by SAIS Europe alumni volunteers and funded entirely by alumni donations. Its mission is three-fold: (1.) to help SAISers maintain and expand their ties to each other and to the school, (2.) to organize events to promote joint discussion and dialogue and (3.) to financially support SAIS Europe by offering the possibility to make tax deductible contributions from Germany.

In 2009, members of the Verein voted on the establishment of a yearly fellowship to support the future generations of students from Germany at SAIS Europe. The fellowship is intended to be a collective effort funded through donations made by alumni. Since its inception, more than 40 students have benefited from the German Alumni Fellowship. Your generosity is critical to ensure that the German Alumni Fellowship continues to exist and we hope that you will want to show your support of this important initiative. For tax effective giving in Germany, please follow the country-specific instructions here.
