The National Spanish Exam (NSE) is a competition that recognizes and promotes students’ Spanish linguistic competence and proficiency in Spanish which measures both content standards (vocabulary and grammar) and performance standards (reading and listening comprehension). Students who place at or above the 75th percentile at the national level receive medals (gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention) and are eligible to apply for several types of scholarships.
Congratulations to all on this achievement!
