Fort Wayne German Heritage Society Scholarship

Are you a German major or minor here at IPFW?

Is your G.P.A. higher than 3.0?

Would you like to receive a scholarship (currently: $1000) next semester for an upper-division German course?

Write a 3-page essay (font 12, double-spaced, standard margins, Times New Roman, WORD document) on the following topic:

“2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  It was erected in 1961 by the communist regime of East Germany, separating Germany’s capital and its citizens for 38 years until November 9, 1989.  People from the eastern part were no longer allowed to travel to the western sections.  Imagine what it would be like if your hometown or neighborhood were to be suddenly divided overnight by a wall, meaning you were cut off from your friends and relatives and not able to travel.  What would your life feel like?  How would things be different?  Would anything remain the same?”

Deadline is January 12 , 2010 at 5pm.

Email essay and application form (PDF ) to shins@ipfw.edu.
