The exquisite gala will showcase an elegant night where
guests will experience a cocktail reception and a
three-course dinner followed by dancing and the premier
highlight of the Quadrille performance.
The annual ball is a fundraiser for scholarships awarded to
highly qualified students enrolled at U.S. or German
universities. The Quadrille was founded decades ago to
enhance and strengthen transatlantic relationships through
education and exchange. Through its non-profit parent
organization, the Germanistic Society of America, the
Quadrille supports undergraduate, Master and PhD students.
The stipends awarded by the 501(c)3 non-profit organization
offer students the opportunity to study and conduct research
across the Atlantic. Scholarship recipients are chosen in
cooperation with highly regarded organizations: the
Fulbright program, the Institute of International Education
(IIE), and Columbia University.
More than 700 students have benefited from the
Germanistic Society of America’s support over the years.
The Quadrille is organized by volunteers to ensure that the
tax-deductible contributions from sponsors, advertisers,
donors, and ball guests benefit the stipend fund.
The Quadrille Stipend Fund could not succeed without the
continued and generous support of corporate sponsors,
individual patrons, and other private donors. Financial and
non-monetary donations help the Germanistic Society of
America award its scholarships to outstanding students from
the United States and Germany.
Recent Sponsors have included
the Full Scholarship Sponsor, The Mejean Family Foundation;
Platinum Sponsors Max Kade Foundation, Inc., The Bye Family,
and Dr. William Radin; as well as Diamond Sponsors, The
Anna-Maria and
Stephen Kellen Foundation and Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Shiva. |
