Heinz Prechter Scholarships for 2012
Detroit, Michigan. February 29, 2012– Logan Robinson, President and Chairman of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest-Michigan Chapter, announced today that “the Chamber has approved continued funding in 2012 for two Heinz Prechter Tribute Scholarships to support Michigan College and university students going to companies in Germany to work as interns. The purpose of the grant is to encourage more Michigan students to learn about German business, life and culture by living and working in Germany in 2012. The stipends are named in honor of Heinz Prechter to commemorate the unparalleled contributions that he made to the advancement of international relations between Michigan and Germany.
Dr. Ray Schaub, who designed and chairs the scholarship program, said “scholarship recipients will be selected through an application and in-person interview process open to all interested students who are currently in good standing at a public or private college or university in Michigan and who have attained at least junior-class status. For the coming year, the Chamber will provide a $2000 scholarship to each of the two scholarship winners. The internships must begin in Germany in 2012.”
