This year 846 students of chapter members from 29 schools who took Levels 2-4 of the National German Exam and 143 of them received gold medals. Nine students applied for the AATG-PAD NGE Scholarship, and we nominated four students to the national committee for that scholarship. Two of our nominees were among the 38 students from across the nation chosen for the trip to Germany. The Committee also recognized three students for our chapter collegiate award of excellence. In April the committee also received word that one student was among the eight students in the U.S. who received the NGE Post-Graduate Scholarship for graduating high school seniors. All these students were recognized with medals and prize bags at our chapter awards ceremony at COD on April 27, at which approximately 250 people heard from last year’s CLV and AATG-PAD scholarship winners, and the award winners are named below.
The Testing & Awards Committee expects the results of Levels 1 and 2A-4A of the National German Exam in the coming week. The medals for those students will be sent directly to their teachers by the end of May.
Here is the full list of awardees recognized:
