Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/ NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP exams; and are African American or black, Hispanic American or Latinx, indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with underrepresented students who they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”
