College Board designates 118 NISD students as National Recognition Scholars
Northwest ISD proudly recognizes 118 high school juniors and seniors designated by The College Board as National Recognition Program Scholars, based on academic achievements and outstanding performance on the PSAT and AP exams.
The College Board, which administers the PSAT and SAT, recognizes academic excellence through its National Recognition Programs in the following categories: National African American Recognition Program Scholars, National Indigenous Recognition Program Scholars, National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholars and National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program Scholars.
Students selected may cite the award on their future college and scholarship applications. In turn, colleges use the listing of this honor as a way of identifying students from underrepresented groups who have excelled on their PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10 or AP Exams and in their classwork.
The following are Northwest ISD’s 118 nationally recognized Scholars from each of the district’s four high schools:
