2023 Presidential Scholar Nomination
For the general U.S. Presidential Scholar recognition, students must meet the following criteria:
- are or will be U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent U.S. Residents by the application deadline (Students who were not U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent U.S. Residents on the day they took SAT or ACT exam, or who requested that The College Board or ACT not release their scores to outside entities, should contact the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program at 507-931-8345 to ensure their scores are considered in the determination of the candidate pool);
- graduate or receive a diploma between January and August of 2022, the current program year; and
- score exceptionally well on either the SAT of the College Board or the ACT of the American College Testing Program, based on tests taken during the year window that begins in September, 2018 and runs through October, 2021, (for the recognition cycle concluding in June, 2022), nominated by their Chief State School Officer (CSSO) or nominated by one of the U.S. Department of Education's partner recognition organizations based on outstanding scholarship.
Please note that submission of a nomination form does not guarantee the student will be nominated for the federal program; Georgia is only permitted to nominate 20 students to the U.S. Department of Education. This nomination form is for the general Presidential Scholar recognition; the CTE and Arts recognitions are handled separately.
