On Friday afternoon, we welcomed four American students here to Heppenheim as part of our
high school program. The students, Emily, Emily, Dyani, and Quinn, are from all over the United States and applied for the Founder's Scholarship last year which provides a year of cultural exchange here in Germany. They were chosen by our parent organization,
CETUSA for their belief in cultural exchange and eagerness to share their open minds with a new community and culture. These students will be joined by the fifth winner, Trenton, next week. All of the American students will live with host families and attend high school in the area of Heppenheim, Germany where the
headquarters of DFSR is located.
The students were welcomed at the Frankfurt airport by their anxious host families and two DFSR representatives. We are so excited to welcome these students to our city and look forward to a year of cultural immersion, new friends, and many lifelong memories! Check out the photos below of the students' arrivals, and read about our
Welcome BBQ here.

On Friday, 10th August, three excited host families from Bensheim, Heppenheim and Zwingenberg drove to the Frankfurt airport to pick up their new family members Emily, Quinn and Dyani, three of our
scholarship students from America. The DFSR Team jumped from one gate to another to record all the emotional welcomes.
