Student Awards

At the Department of Germanic Studies, we're proud of our students and their achievements!

Every year we highlight those students who have gone above and beyond in the classroom and/or made significant progress in their language learning journey, and this for all our lower-division courses. These students are acknowledged with the Lower-Division Best Language Awards.

Moreover, we have four types of scholarships that are awarded each Spring semester to German majors or students who have taken upper-division courses and have excelled academically and shown commitment to related activities. More information about the available scholarships can be found in Opportunities.
