The National German Exam provides an excellent opportunity to highlight student success and promote the German program in your school. Recognizing students at special award ceremonies or school-wide honors programs are wonderful opportunities for positive publicity for German programs. AATG offers several ways to recognize and award students and publicize their achievements.
Free Downloadable Certificates
Gold, Silver, Bronze, Achievement, and Participation certificates are available in color for you to download and print. Just add the student’s name, level, percentile score, teacher name, and school name and print!
Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals
Students who achieve the highest percentile rankings on the NGE are mailed a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal.
NGE Honor Roll Recognition
Students achieving the highest percentile rankings on the NGE are recognized on the NGE Results and Honor Roll page, alongside their teacher and school! Winners are searchable by level, state, and AATG chapter. View the 2024 NGE Honor Roll at www.aatg.org/nge-results-and-honor-roll.
Scholarship for Summer Study in Germany
Students who achieve the 90th percentile on the NGE and meet other eligibility requirements can apply for the AATG/PAD NGE Scholarship, a three-week trip Germany sponsored by the German government in the summer following the exam.
Senior Scholarship
Qualifying seniors, who do not meet the age requirement for the travel scholarship, may apply for the NGE Post-Graduate Scholarship for high school seniors. Recipients are awarded a cash prize to further their German studies after high school.
Chapter Awards
In addition to Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals, chapters receive a number of prizes from AATG to distribute to students and teachers of the NGE, such as book awards.
