<p>Does anyone know what this award is and how many freshmens are awarded each year? It saids for academic excellence but does that mean that you have to have GPA 4.0? thanks</p>
<p>I think you need faculty recommendation</p>

<p>Yeah it looks like you need faculty recommendation.</p>
<p>thanks but do you know how many students are selected each year?</p>
<p>This past year there were 66 names listed in the Daily. I don’t know how GPA is factored into it.</p>
<p>Can you provide the link? Thanks.</p>
<p>My son said that this year, 66 people were given the President’s Award for Academic Excellence in the Freshman Year. Selection was by nomination.</p>
