Established in 2003 by Walter and Florence Aupperle to provide four-year scholarships annually to students studying the German language, history and culture at the University of Michigan or Eastern Michigan University.
The scholarship amounts to $5,000 for each academic year that you are still enrolled here. If you are presently a first-year student with a German major or minor, you can renew the scholarship up to three times. The total amount will ultimately be $20,000.
Number of available awards: 2-3
Recipients may automatically renew their scholarship up to three times, to receive four years of scholarship support, as long as they continue to meet the Scholarship Fund criteria.
Scholarship Criteria:
* You must demonstrate financial need
* You must be a full-time undergraduate student pursuing a German major (history, language, culture, etc.) or minor at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor or Eastern Michigan University
* You must have a minimum GPA of 3.0
To renew a scholarship, you must be enrolled at the University of Michigan or EMU, maintain a 3.0 or above GPA, and submit your transcript showing your German major/minor, and verification of fall enrollment to AAACF for review each summer.
Required Materials:
* Online scholarship application
* Latest transcript
* Letter of recommendation, which must be completed by someone who is not a relative or family member
* Short essay, composed in English, answering the question: How did you become interested in German Studies? (Uploaded as an attachment)
The scholarship will be reported to the Office of Financial Aid at the University of Michigan, which will then be reassessing your financial needs.
