7 BUA Seniors Identified as Presidential Scholar Candidates
Seven members of the BUA Class of 2022 have been identified as candidates for the US Presidential Scholars Program. Each candidate has the opportunity to complete an application for further consideration.
The US Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of the 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.
Kudos to the candidates on this well-earned recognition!
