<p>I have never heard of a President’s Award for Academic Excellence, but I am familiar with a President’s Award for Educational Excellence. If that’s what you meant, see below…</p>
<p>I would assume that it’s a good thing to put on an application, but it won’t be anything that’ll give you a significant boost, as it seems to be awarded to students who can retain an overall A-level grade record, good standardized testing scores, and recommendations. It’s purely an academic award; see here for more information:
