The Berlin Prize is a residential fellowship at the Hans Arnhold Center, awarded by the American Academy in Berlin to scholars and artists. Each year, about 20 fellows are selected.
The stated mission of the program is to improve the transatlantic dialogue in the arts, humanities, and public policy through the development and communication of projects of the highest scholarly merit.[1]
The program is privately funded through donations, with the Kellen-Arnhold family as Academy's primary source of financial support.[2]
