In a world increasingly propelled by international exchange, global trade, and trans-cultural communication, proficiency in a foreign language and in-depth knowledge of a foreign culture are of vital importance. Unique and special programs, such as the German Summer School of New Mexico, are allowing students to gain near native proficiency in the German language and to understand the idiosyncrasies and differences of German culture, economics, history, politics, and literature.

However, specialized summer programs require extra efforts, dedication, and, of course, additional resources. In fact, without the generosity of outside sponsors we could not have continued this school for over thirty-five years. Since program costs have risen sharply in the last five years, many students are now unable to attend for financial reasons.

We are in great need of additional scholarship money and are seeking contributions for a scholarship fund that would allow us to alleviate program costs for participants with limited means. Any help is deeply appreciated.

If you wish to donate to this fund, please go to the UNM Foundation. On the UNM Foundation page, use the link "Don't see what you're looking for? Click here!" and please enter German Summer School in the Comments box. All contributions are tax deductible as allowable by law. THANK YOU!

I love this school and would attend it even if it were in a tent. (Anonymous, 2006)
