NLE $1,000 AWARDS -Applications for the $1,000 scholarships will be mailed to gold medal winners in Latin III-IV Prose, III-IV Poetry, or Latin V-VI who are high school seniors. Those who apply must agree to take at least one year of Latin or Classical Greek in college. A classics in translation course does not fulfill this requirement. In 2006, twenty-one $1,000 scholarships were awarded. These scholarships may be renewed.
