The Haas-Koshland Award was established to honor the memory of Walter A. Haas, Sr. and Daniel E.

All interested students, from the sophomore year through graduate school, should apply by January 1 annually. The recipient will be notified before March 1 of the next year.

The Humboldt University of Berlin, in conjunction with Freie Universitat Berlin, the Technical University of Berlin, the Berlin University of the Arts, and the Berlin School of Economics, will offer 30 scholarships to students whose relatives were victims of the Nazi regime.  The scholarships are also available to students who have taken an active interest in questions of National Socialism, slave labor, and forced labor in their own countries.
