The Department of Germanic Studies offers three scholarships to German undergraduate students:
William Goodwin Scholarship for Majors
As an expression of our enthusiasm for students interested in declaring a major in Germanic Studies, the department makes available a William Goodwin Scholarship of $500 after declaring a major in Germanic Studies, $2,000 for a stay abroad with an IU program, and $3,000 upon proof of registration in the final required course for the Germanic Studies major.
If you are interested in this scholarship and declaring a major, please contact Nikole Langjahr, nilangja@iu.edu.
Elmer O. Wooley Prize
These monetary awards are made through the generosity of the late Elmer O. Wooley, a member of the department’s faculty from 1916 to 1954. They are given for scholastic excellence demonstrated in the undergraduate German curriculum.
Salz Family Award
The Department of Germanic Studies announced the recipient of the first annual Walter Salz Family Award in the fall of 1996. This award is given in recognition of the year’s best submitted essay on some aspect of the history of German Jews from the earliest times to the present day.
Endowed by Professor Emeritus Henry Remak and his wife, Ingrid, the competition is open to undergraduates or graduate students enrolled on any Indiana University campus. Essays of any suitable length are acceptable, written either for a course or as an original composition. Essays should be submitted to the department’s main office by the annual June 1 deadline for consideration in the current year’s competition. The winner (or winners) receive a prize of up to $500.
