Seven Princeton High School students were recently awarded scholarships by the Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey (FLENJ). The state-wide competition, which resulted in 10 awards overall this year, is based upon a performance assessment in the target language, with students writing an essay to a prompt, followed by a telephone interview for semi-finalists. The PHS winners are studying diverse foreign languages including Mandarin, Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish. The winners will receive a $1,000 college scholarship.
