<p>Hmm, I don’t think that’s quite right. I’m pretty sure indivually entering Intel and winning it would be considered academic (scholastic) even though it is not through school. Also in this category would be winning a writing award for something published outside school, or doing well in math contests without your school math team.</p>
<p>I would say non-scholastic awards are things you could without ever studying, e.g. qualifying for an Olympic team, volunteer of the year, Eagle Scout, winning a poker championship, receiving an Oscar.</p>
