Dear Parents, dear School Community at large,

We would like to remind you that you have ten more days – until Friday, March 10, 2017– to apply for the Hugo-and-Herta-Mueller scholarship.

In agreement with the spirit of the foundation—the advancement of the German language and culture—the scholarship will be awarded to students where at least one parent/guardian is not a native German speaker. Students will be selected from the present 4^th graders who are transitioning to the Upper School.

The scholarship will automatically extend to grade 9 and will not have to be renewed every school year. The amount of the scholarship award will be equal to 60 % of tuition, as adjusted from year to year. Students whose parents or guardians receive any school support payments from their employers or other sources are not eligible.

The scholarship applicants must show a 2.5 grade point average and demonstrate a better than 3.0 grade point in German language instruction. The scholarship will be withdrawn if the recipient’s grades fall below these averages or in the event that she or he violates the spirit and intentions of the foundation.

By March 10, 2017, parents or guardians of students who qualify are asked to follow these instructions (please click here) for submitting their form VIA EMAIL to stipendium@dswash.org.  Scholarships will be awarded by a jury. All applicants will be notified before March 31, 2017.

The jury of five members will take extraordinary care to evaluate and assess all applications to ensure that the process is fair and just and will lead to an undisputed outcome.

In the event that the scholarship recipient no longer attends the German School, she/he forfeits the scholarship.

Best wishes,

P. Palenzatis, OStD’
