The German government and various agencies offer a variety of scholarships. The following are scholarships/certificates our students at CHS have earned in the previous years:
Current Sophmore Katie O’Leary won the film competition “Youth 4 German Cinema”. She will receive an all-expense paid scholarship to attend the Berlin and Beyond Film Festival in San Francisco on March 7-10, 2019.
About the program:
Youth 4 German Cinema was designed to give high-school-age students input into the workings of an international film festival. The program’s goals are to increase multi-cultural awareness among students and educate them on the subject of international film, film criticism and the filmmaking process, as well as provide an entry point for youth to the cinema world of German-speaking countries. Chosen from a pool of applicants from across North America, the Y4GC program of 2018-2019 will offer high-school-aged students across the U.S., Canada and Central America the opportunity to: go behind-the-scenes and participate at an international film festival; meet industry professionals; participate in artistic workshops; increase cross-cultural awareness through cinema; participate in the selection of two winning films for the Youth 4 German Cinema “Festival Field Trip” that will screen at the festival for hundreds of visiting students of middle schools and high schools from the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.

This is a nationally recognized exam for all students in German. Students in level 2, 3 and 4 take this exam all over the United States.
