Thanks to the incredible generosity of both the Friedman-Kline Foundation and the Max Kade Foundation, the Northwestern German department is able to provide significant financial support for summer abroad programs to our German students. This year, we have awarded $31,000 to 17 German students from freshman to seniors in various fields of study, with diverse ethnic backgrounds and at all levels of language proficiency.

We are pleased to announce that the Max Kade Foundation Travel Grants have been awarded to eight of our German 101 students, all of whom were accepted and will be participating in our eight-week summer program, “Berlin: Global City in the Center of Europe.” The names of recipients are: Eduardo Andrade, Ishika Arora, Rodrigo Carmena-Black, Ava Dahnke, Mia Gleason, Adrian Hoffer, Leo Kurland and Anna Meier. Congratulations to all of you!

We also had an incredibly strong pool of applicants for the Friedman-Kline Foundation Fellowship this Spring quarter, all of whom have taken one or more of our German courses. Of the 11 award recipients, two will be travelling to Germany on prestigious DAAD-RISE grants, one student will be in Stuttgart for 6 weeks on an internship at the research campus AREA 2036 (which stands for “Active Research Environment for the Next generation of Automobiles”), and the rest will be participating in intensive German language programs from Leipzig and Bayreuth to Hamburg and Jena. The names of our 11 outstanding recipients are: Griffin Berse, Ava Dahnke, Maddie Farr, Chloe Fisher, Jacob Garcia, Felix Garkisch, Leo Kurland, Aymen Lamsahel, Lindsey Sonnenfeldt, and Allison Spring. Congratulations to all of you!
