Established in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars program recognizes and honors some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors. Each year, 3,000 candidates are identified based on SAT or ACT scores. Those students are then ranked within their state and about 20 females and 20 males receive nominations. Scholars are then chosen on the basis of their accomplishments in a variety of areas, like academic and artistic success, leadership, and involvement in school and the community.
Lochoff, Greenberg and Lombardo will submit essays, self-assessments and transcripts as they continue the process to be considered one of 141 students to be named U.S. Presidential Scholars.
