2021 U.S. Presidential Scholar Recommendations Due October 30 Presidential Scholar pic The Oklahoma State Department of Education is soliciting recommendations of our State's top scholars for the prestigious U.S. Presidential Scholars Program recognition award. We ask that educators submit information for an outstanding SENIOR student graduating between January and June 2021 who you believe will represent the State of Oklahoma well if selected as a U.S. Presidential Scholar. Scholars will be selected based on outstanding leadership in the areas of academic achievement, community involvement, and positive character. As you form your recommendation, consider what makes the student stand out as having exemplary scholarship. Has the student overcome special challenges or hurdles while still achieving high academic success? Has the student engaged in consistent service learning that has impacted the school and community? Does the student exhibit innate leadership qualities that build relationships and empower others. We invite you to tell their story. Be their champion for this honor of excellence. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program (USPSP) was established in 1964, by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. Recommend an Oklahoma Senior using the link below. (STUDENTS CAN ONLY BE NOMINATED THROUGH THEIR STATE AGENCY. DO NOT SUBMIT DIRECTLY TO USPSP.) U.S PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR RECOMMENDATION FORM DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2020. Note: Recommendations do not guarantee nomination. More than one student from each school can be submitted for recommendation. Make sure your district is represented in the pool of prospective nominations! For questions about this process, email petra.woodard@sde.ok.gov.
