What are the benefits for the US Presidential Scholars program?

Dd18 is a candidate but wasn’t planning to pursue it as she’s busy and there doesn’t seem to be any money involved. Then I came here and saw threads about it, so I guess some people find it worthwhile?

No monetary award. It’s only a recognition award and something to put on the resume. My daughter is also a candidate and is not sure if she wants to pursue it either because she is now busy with her sport season starting. Also suffering from application burnout after finally finishing all the college admission apps and still having scholarship apps to get around to.
