Dear friends of ECU's German program,
ECU's German program now has its own 501(c)(3) fund to support German Studies here in Eastern North Carolina and to which anyone can make a tax-deductible contribution.
With this fund, ECU's German program will be able to provide qualified German majors and minors with a stipend for study in a German-speaking country, to present their original research at academic conferences, or to pursue advanced undergraduate study in German Studies in North America (some institutions such as Princeton periodically offer relevant summer seminars for highly qualified undergraduates). The fund will also help our program host German-related cultural events on and off campus, including in local schools that otherwise have no offerings in German language or culture.
If you would like to support our program and its students with a tax-deductible gift, you can do so in two easy ways, and your employer may even match your contribution (many companies have such a policy):
1. online: www.giving.ecu.edu or ONLINE GIVING ; select the College of Arts and Sciences and in the next drop down menu select German Studies Priority Fund.
2. by check (made out to ECU Foundation, Inc., with German Studies Fund in the memo line), and mailed to:
