Wylie ISD Students Awarded Academic Honors from College Board National Recognition Program
- News
A combined 142 Wylie East High School and Wylie High School students earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.
Eligible students qualify based on strong academic performance reflected by PSAT/NMSQT® or PSAT™ 10 scores within the top 10% of test takers for each award program in each state or a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade.
This year, College Board created a new recognition -- First Generation. This new category is for students who may be the first members in their family to earn a college diploma. The introduction of the National First-Generation Recognition Program ensures even more high school students are celebrated for their achievements and can be found by colleges during recruitment to pursue a path forward after high school.
