2024 Anneliese and Alfred Strauch Scholarship for Language Study Recipient: Alison Sicoli

German studies major Alison Sicoli receives one of the 2024 Anneliese and Alfred Strauch Scholarships

Congratulations to Alison Sicoli on being awarded a 2024 Strauch Scholarship! Alison is a sophomore double-majoring in Spanish and German studies, with a minor in linguistics. She began studying languages while living in Germany and has continued with her studies all the way through college. Since then, her fascination with the German language and its culture has only grown. Alison hopes to teach in the future, imparting her passion for language to the next generation of students. The Anneliese and Alfred Strauch Scholarship for Language Study was established in 2003 by Department of German Studies faculty member Dr. Gabriele Strauch (emerita) in memory of her parents. Each spring, the scholarship recognizes the outstanding efforts of two to three German majors or double majors who hold junior standing at the University of Maryland. To apply, you must have between 60 and 89 cumulative credits (junior standing) and have declared German as a major or double major. Preference will be given to those applicants who are planning to study abroad.
