Right, the 22K was the second highest scholarship available last year (of the “automatic consideration” scholarships), and that same scholarship is 25K this year. It is the only one that went up $3,000 instead of $2,000. And while most of the DHS winners are also ones that received the Presidential, it is certainly possible for a Distinguished Scholar winner to get a DHS. The stats of all these highly accomplished students are so close together, the project and other factors play a large role in who gets it in the end. That being said, just remember there are only 75 winners out of over 1,000 applications (usually), so it is obviously very very competitive.
