Our congratulations to the 2022 FLENJ Scholarship winners! Over 30 high school seniors applied to this year’s FLENJ Scholarship competition. Essays were submitted in several languages, and students across the state shared their passion for language study and multilingualism. The students have studied a second language for an average of five years, an indication that the students have benefited from longer sequences of language study. Most of the students who achieved semi-finalist status reported using the language they have been studying outside the classroom in a variety of circumstances involving work, travel and social activities. These students’ teachers and the districts and schools that have designed such quality programs should be commended.

The scholarship winners are:

Name	Language	District
Sofia Dunne	Spanish	River Dell Regional High School
Sumay Trivedi	French	Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District
