We live in a very Non-Hispanic area

How does a young person become a National Hispanic Scholar? My son was given an award last year for being the Outstanding Male Hispanic Student in our state, but we never heard of any national awards. He got the award because someone stumbled on it and passed it on to our Counsellor. She nominated him, and it went from there. He has been accepted to the Navla Academy, we are waiting on Princeton and Cornell. We really do not know of any awards for LAtinoas. Also, are there any awards for mediocre Latino Students. My youngest is really smart but does not try to hard and gets B’s and C’s?
Thank you in advance.
