President's Scholarship 2020

I was selected as a finalist! Anyway, I’m super nervous because I usually am TERRIBLE at interviews, much more terrible when there are academic topics I need to discuss AHH. Does anyone have any tips for the interview or know what other people have said in the past about the interview process? What exactly do they mean when they say academic topics?

I could use all the help I can get because interviews scare me to death and I need to be as prepared as possible.
