My student received the presidential leadership scholarship last year. My child’s GPA and test scores were high enough for admission to the honor’s program. My child applied for the foundation fellows and in the letter notifying our student that he had not been selected, he was told that he was being awarded the presidential scholarship on the basis of academic achievement and leadership involvement outside of the classroom. We know many students in the honors program who had stellar GPAs and test scores who were not awarded additional scholarships. The difference between getting a scholarship or not was not grades, but was in the extracurriculars and leadership qualities exhibited by the students.
