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 incredibly proud of these MISD students and their outstanding accomplishments,” said Montgomery ISD Superintendent Dr. Mark Ruffin. “These recognitions reflect their hard work, academic dedication and the engaging, high-quality instruction our teachers provide every day. Opportunities like these help students stand out in the college admissions process, and we look forward to seeing where their talents and achievements take them next.”
The College Board National Recognition Program consists of the following official academic awards recognizing students in all communities: First-Generation Recognition Award, Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award, and School Recognition Award.
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.
- Earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher and either score 3 or above on two or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade. .
- 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.
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!
