Scholarships
The German Canadian Association of Alberta represents the interests of Germans in Alberta and fosters the sharing of the culture of the many German-speaking groups with the whole of Alberta's society. Thus the GCAA helps to strengthen their contributions to Alberta's growth and diverse culture and encourages their participation in public and cultural life. Achieving these goals takes countless hours of volunteerism by the members and benefactors of these organizations.
We strongly encourage young people to become involved in these organizations.
