Note Well: In addition to the awards available from the Confessional Language Scholarship for every student who chooses a German, Latin, or confessional emphasis, additional awards are available from the NWC Alumni Society. Each year, the NWC Alumni Society makes three awards of $1,500 each. One award is for outstanding work in German, another for outstanding work in Latin, and the final award is for outstanding work in both German and Latin. These awards are generally made to rising seniors who have completed upper-level elective courses.
