    Mme Albert DuPasquier (née Francoise Mauler) hosted NJC students in her home  from 1956 until 1979. She passed away, aged 97, on July 27, 2009. Mme DuPasquier believed it was her responsibility to ensure that all her guests learned to speak French well. In 2011, her former students established this award in her honour. It is presented annually to the student who strives to learn the French language and makes great progress. 
In addition to the awards outlined above, several Junior College awards are given for superior performance in particular subject areas as well as for extra-curricular activities. These include athletic, valedictorian, and other awards throughout all academic disciplines.
