2023 Florence Allen Scholarship Recipients
$1000 – Leena Futoryansky | The Ohio State University — Linguistics
Leena wants to become a linguistics professor and researcher. Linguistics is “the scientific study of the structure, nature, evolution, and cognitive aspects of language.” She has done several projects in this field.
She is most interested in endangered language preservation. When languages are lost if they haven’t been documented, the cultural knowledge stored within them is lost forever.
Leena has a twin sister who will also be entering college this year so this scholarship will ease the financial demands on her family.
