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!
