Scholarship

The German-American Club of the Carolinas (GAC) is a non-profit social organization founded in 1975 to promote cooperation and understanding between German and American cultures and their related values through events and meetings. The GAC is proud to help students in their pursuit of education related to its purpose. Students majoring or minoring in German have preference in consideration for funding. The club is also pleased to help local schools, colleges and universities which advocate education in German language and culture. Grants (based on financial need) and scholarships (based on academic merit) are distributed annually.
