<p>Contrary to what some may believe, fewer than 30% of all applicants are named Discus Award winners.</p>
<p>There are also multiple types of scholarships offered through the program. The National All-Around Student Scholarship is likely the award that you are referring to, ZombieDante. That scholarship is awarded to only ten students each year!</p>
<p>One benefit of including the Discus Award on your application, sunshine02, is that it recognizes qualities that most awards do not recognize; activities that may occur outside of the classroom. In the same way you might list an MVP Award for your community sports team on your application, you may list a Discus Award for your contributions both in and outside the community.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
