PURPOSE: The fund was established to assist a JCU French, German or Spanish major with the financing of his/her summer, semester or year abroad in order to deepen and broaden his/her linguistic and cultural background. Such use of the fund is most representative of Dr. Fabien's humanistic and cosmopolitan educational ideal and a worthy monument to his contributions to the education of countless JCU graduates. The grant will be awarded every year.

CONTRIBUTORS: Friends and alumnae/alumni of Dr. Fabien and of the German Section of the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Cultures contributed these funds to be applied exclusively to further the educational goal of a JCU language major.

APPLICANTS: Qualified French, German and Spanish majors are encouraged toward the end of their third semester to apply for the scholarship. Application deadline is March 25, 2007.

SELECTION PROCESS: A committee of three (The Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mrs. Diana Thimmig, Esq., Mr. Robert Fabien, and Dr. Heidi I. Stull) will review the applications and recommend the award based on overall performance. Students who have made study abroad inquiries and/or submitted requisite applications are preferred.

The recipient will be notified by April 15, 2007.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD: Two scholarships between $3-5,000, to be determined at the complete discretion of the Fund Drive Committee.

The Fund Drive Committee:

Dr. Heidi I. Stull (Chairperson)
