We’re celebrating our Huskies, one of 72,000 students from across the country who earned academic honors from College Board’s National Recognition Programs! They received an award from the National Hispanic Recognition Award. The National Recognition Programs honor the strong academic achievements of underrepresented students. They’re an easy way for students to showcase their hard work in high school. The programs not only benefit students. They also benefit colleges looking to recruit diverse, talented students.

There’s so much that makes students like these unique. That’s an asset to colleges and programs. The National Recognition Programs help students like them find ways to celebrate that. Eligible students apply on BigFuture. They have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. They’re the top 10% of PSAT/NMSQT® or PSAT™ 10 assessment takers in each state for each program or have earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP® Exams. They either attend school in a rural area or small town, or identify as African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, or Indigenous/Native. They’re invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year. Students who are awarded recognition will be notified at the beginning of the next school year.
Congratulations, Alvaro, Jan, Erwin, Anneth & Oscar!
