<p>I was recently nominated as a James Otis scholar by my AP World and AP Gov teacher. Our school sends 5 seniors to the James Otis lecture series every year which consists of a series of lawyers speaking about American liberties, etc. etc. A 5,000 dollar scholarship is involved. </p>
<p>I was going to put this as an honor on the Common App - I was unsure whether or not it would be considered a state or national award type thing - because it functions on a chapter basis (meaning that my lecture is in Boston and serves only MA students, however, the program as a whole has nominees from across the country.) </p>
<p>Does it really matter what I put? What do you think?</p>
I put it down as state.</p>
