Reminder: Presidential Scholars, Presidential Scholars in CTE programs accepting nominations

The Presidential Scholars program recognizes and honors high school seniors who have demonstrated high achievements academically or in the arts — some having to overcome special challenges or hurdles to do so. 

The Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education (CTE) program also offers recognition of high-achieving students who have demonstrated excellence in CTE. This program started in 2016. 

These two separate programs require separate nomination forms. 

To nominate a student for the Presidential Scholars program or the Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education program, a nomination form must be completed and submitted to the address indicated on the nomination form. Nomination forms may be accessed at this link: 

https://www.ksde.org/Agency/Fiscal-and-Administrative-Services/Communications-and-Recognition-Programs/Presidential-Scholars-Program 

Schools may nominate only two students for each program from their school. Nominations must be postmarked by Oct. 10, 2024.
