THE D.C. HENEGAR TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP
FOR GERMAN
In the 2002-2003 Academic Year Michael Henegar funded a travel scholarship in memory of his
grandfather, D. C. Henegar. His intent is to promote the learning of German by supporting West Georgia
College students who wish to study in Germany or Austria.
Procedure for Application
Contact Person: Director of German Program, Department of Foreign Languages
Deadline for application: Feb. 1 for the following Summer
Required materials:
1. Completed Application
2. Transcript
3. Three letters of recommendation from faculty who can address applicant's suitability.
4. An essay in which the student describes his/her achievements, motivation for study in Germany, academic goals
and intentions, cultural awareness, and commitment to learning German.
5. Evidence of acceptance into an approved program.
6. Statement of eligibility for other monies [Hope Grants, Scholarships, G.I. bill, etc.]
Selection
A committee proposed by the director of the German Section and Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages will evaluate
applications and make recommendations to the Director of the German Section based on the quality of the whole application.
Thus, though the GPA, for example, is important, a high GPA would not in itself necessarily warrant acceptance. The student
who best represents West Georgia College would be the best choice.
These scholarships will pay from $250 to $1000 (partially matched by Regents’ funds) for travel costs towards an internship or
for overseas programs offering at least 6 semester hours of credit, depending on the number of awards given, and the funds
available that particular year. If other funds are available [Hope Grants, scholarships, G.I. Bill, etc.] then the Burson
Scholarship will be the supplementary source of funding)
