In 1979, the program was expanded
to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional scholarship and talent
in the visual, creative, and performing arts. Finalists will be named
in April.
Presidential Scholars are chosen
on the basis of academic or artistic scholarship, leadership, and involvement
in school and the community. Approximately 500 semi-finalists are selected
and up to 141 Presidential Scholars are named annually.
Application is by invitation
only.
In June, the finalists will
be invited to Washington D.C. to participate in National Recognition Week,
which includes enrichment activities and culminates with the presentation
of the Presidential Scholars medallion during a special ceremony at the
White House.
