The US Presidential Scholarship Program is a program of the Ministry of Education. It is described as "one of the nation's highest honors for students" in the United States and the world.
The program was established in 1964 by the Executive Order of the President of the United States to recognize the most famous senior graduates for their achievements in many areas: academic success, leadership, and service to schools and communities. In 1979 it expanded to recognize students who demonstrate outstanding scholarship and talent in the visual, creative, and performing arts. By 2015, the program is extended once again to recognize students who demonstrate competence and achievement in career and technical fields. Each year, the White House Commission appointed by the president on the Presidential Scholarship picks up to 161 US Presidents Graduates from that year's senior class. All Bachelors are invited to Washington, DC in June for the National Recognition Program, featuring a variety of events and enrichment activities and culminating in a Presidential Scholarship Medal presentation in a White House-sponsored ceremony.
To commemorate their achievements, individual scholars were awarded the Presidential Medal in a ceremony sponsored by the White House.

All candidates are invited to apply to the program in January of their graduation year. Applications due in February. Semifinalists announced in Mid-April and all Bachelors announced the first week of May. The National Recognition Program in Washington, DC usually occurs in June.
Overview of the development of the following selection:
General
All senior high school graduates who are US citizens or legal permanent residents worldwide are enrolled in a public or private high school, and who scored very well in SAT from the College Board or the ACT Assessment of the American Higher Education Exam Program on or before October each year is automatically considered for participation.
The US Department of Education then examines test records for the top 30 men and 30 top women in every state/jurisdiction. The combined score files of the top male participants and the top female examinees are then ranked from high to low in each state. Scores associated with the top 20 male participants and 20 female examinees were used to identify candidates in each state. When the bond occurs within the threshold value, more than 20 people of that gender are invited in the state. In addition, every Chief State School Officer (CSSO) can nominate up to ten male and ten female candidates, who are in the jurisdiction of CSSO, based on their outstanding scholarship. In addition, the program partners with several recognition organizations, each of which will nominate up to 10 candidates from each program. Each year about 4,000 students are invited to apply for this program.
Candidates then go through a rigorous application process in which they must submit nominations, including essays, self-assessments, high school reports, and transcripts. Candidates are evaluated on their academic achievements, personal characteristics, leadership, services, and other extracurricular activities, and analysis of their essays.
In mid-April about 800 Semifinalists were selected by a review committee of highly qualified individuals with experience in secondary and post-secondary education. Six to twenty Semifinalists are identified for each state/jurisdiction. The number of Semifinalists identified per state/jurisdiction is proportional to the number of candidates for that state.
In May, the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars made a final selection of up to 161 Presidential Scholars. One male and one female student is selected from the world, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and from families of US citizens and from residents living abroad. In addition, up to fifteen Scholars are elected widely.

Overview
The National YoungArts Foundation reviews about 12,000 candidates per year from artists aged 15 to 18 in the areas of visual arts, literature, performances and design. From this they vote (through the process of blind adjudication) over 600-700 artists in this country as National Winners. 171 of these Winners traveled to Miami, Florida for National YoungArts Week, where they were subsequently decided by the panelists and could win up to $ 10,000 to help them pursue a career in the arts. 171 The winners were then narrowed down to 60 nominations recommended for the White House Commission on Presidential Scholarships. These 60 candidates are invited to apply, and the Commission, in turn, elects 20 Presidential Scholarships in the Arts field.
Options
Students must register and participate in YoungArts, the National Young Arts Foundation's national program designed to identify, identify and encourage talented senior high school seniors who demonstrate excellence in cinematic, dance, design, jazz, music, photography, theater, vocal performance, visual or written art.
Based on the discipline included, applicants must submit an audiotape, videotape, slide or manuscript showing artistic attainment. One panel for each art discipline evaluates applicants in a two-step blind adjudication process. The judges review the materials submitted by the applicants and select up to 20 award candidates in each of the ten disciplines for live adjudication in Miami (YoungArts also has a National Merit and Honorable Mention Winner who can attend one of three Regional Courses in Los Angeles, New York City and Miami, Florida, too). All applicants are judged on standards of excellence in every artistic discipline, not against each other.
The final judgment of National YoungArts Week resulted in the recognition of excellence in five different award categories. Upon completion of the YoungArts program YoungArts will nominate up to sixty eligible students for the US President's Scholarship Program. These students will be sent nominations and invited to apply to the program.
For further consideration, candidates must submit nominations, including essays, self-assessments, high school reports, and transcripts. Candidates are evaluated on their academic achievements, personal characteristics, leadership, services, and extracurricular activities, and analysis of their essays.
The art candidate enters the selection process of the US President Scholarship Recipient Program at the semifinal level. In April the White House Commission on Presidential Scholarships made final selection to twenty US Presidential Scholars in the Arts field.

Career and technical education
By 2015, the program is extended again to recognize students who demonstrate competence and achievement in career and technical education. Students are nominated through their Chief State School Officer (CSSO). Each CSSO can nominate up to five candidates who meet the requirements of the United States Presidential candidate for the 2016 program. Candidate materials are sent to selected students, and they are invited to apply for the program. For further consideration, candidates must submit nominations, including essays, self-assessments, high school reports, and transcripts. Candidates are evaluated on their academic achievements, personal characteristics, leadership, services, and extracurricular activities, and analysis of their essays. The Career and Technical Candidate of Education enters the selection process of US President Scholarship Program at semifinal level. In April the White House Commission on Presidential Scholarships made final selection to twenty US Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education.
