<p>Lippy, I am sorry I forgot to mention the “Presidential Award of Academic Excellence.” Here is the link :[Eligibility</a> - President’s Education Awards Program](<a href=“http://www.ed.gov/programs/presedaward/eligibility.html]Eligibility”>Eligibility - President's Education Awards Program) It’s a national award (my ds got it) but I don’t know if it gives a students any additional money. It’s awarded by the US Dept. of Education and I must admit it was cool to see Obama’s signature next to my kid’s name. The link can give you more info. Also look at the National Hispanic Scholar website.</p>
