The Jacques Breitenbucher Scholar-Leader Award is given every other year to an outstanding female continuing German major, who will be named a Scholar-Leader and live rent-free in a student room in Stoddard Hall.
The Erich Steiniger Memorial Scholarship is awarded for academic excellence to a continuing German major each year. Awardees are nominated by the faculty and selected by a faculty committee. Awards are presented at the department awards ceremony in May each year.
