Several Princeton High Seniors Win Foreign Language Scholarships
Seven Princeton High School students have been awarded scholarships by the Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey. The statewide competition, which resulted in 10 awards overall this year, is based upon a performance assessment in the foreign language. Students wrote an essay and were interviewed by phone. The Princeton High winners are studying diverse foreign languages, including Mandarin, Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish. Each winner will receive a $1,000 college scholarship.
