Presidential Scholars Program and
Presidential Scholars for Career and Technical Education

The Presidential Scholars Program recognizes and honors high school seniors who have demonstrated high achievement academically or in the arts; some having to overcome special challenges or hurdles to do so.  Starting in 2016, outstanding students who demonstrated excellence in career and technical education were included for Presidential Scholar recognition.

These are two separate nomination forms: 

2024 Presidential Scholars Application

2024 Presidential CTE Application

To nominate a student for the Presidential Scholars program or the Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education program, they must complete the nomination form and submit it to the address indicated. Nomination forms and applications may be accessed by clicking on the link below. They must be turned in as one packet.

Each school may only nominate two students, one for each program.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to recognize outstanding students in your school.  For more information about the program, please contact:
