Montgomery ISD students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs.
These National Recognition Program designations can be included on college and scholarship applications to distinguish students to universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect with colleges and stand out during the admissions process. The awards recognize students of all backgrounds and from schools across the country.
“We are so proud of these outstanding MISD students for earning such prestigious recognitions,” said Montgomery ISD Superintendent Dr. Mark Ruffin. “This honor reflects their dedication to academics and the high-quality, engaging instruction provided by our teachers. Programs like these help students shine in the college admissions process, and we are excited to see the incredible opportunities that will open for them as a result.”
Students can claim an award for up to three designations if they are in the 10th or 11th grade, and demonstrate academic excellence when they:
- Take the PSAT/NMSQT (10th, 11th), PSAT 10 (10th), and/or AP Exams (by the end of 10th).
- Earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher (at least 3.3 or 87-89%) by the time of submission.
- Demonstrate academic achievement: Be one of the top 10% of test takers – in their high school, among first-generation college students in their state, and/or among rural and small-town students in their state OR earn a 3+ on 2 or more distinct AP exams in the 8th, 9th and/or 10th grade.
During the submission process, students eligible for the First-Generation Recognition Award are asked to verify their parents’ highest level of education. Students eligible for the School Recognition or Rural Recognition Awards verify their high school.
Eligible students are invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and are awarded at the beginning of the following school year. Students receive their awards in time to include them in their college and scholarship applications.
Congratulations to these Montgomery ISD honorees!
