Scholarship Information
The Christel R. Helmchen Scholarship is given in memory of a young woman who lost her life while working to earn money for college. Christel was interested in the cultural exchanges between German & American youth. Because Christel learned to appreciate and love the German people and their culture during her two trips to Germany, a German requirement has been included in the scholarship eligibility criteria.
We will be awarding a scholarship to a student who has studied high school German for at least 2 years and has applied to a college or university. Applicants must be students of Chesterton High School. Applicants will be chosen on the basis of financial need, scholastic ability, and evidence of sincere interest in continuing their education.

CHS College & Career Center by April 13th.
