The President's Education Awards Program
Home / Scholarships/Award / ScholarshipsThe President's Education Awards Program, sponsored by the U. S. Department of Education, in partnership with the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the National Association of Secondary School Principals, was developed to help principals recognize and honor those students who have achieved high academic goals by their hard work and dedication to learning. 
Students are eligible for one of two honors: the President's Award for Educational Excellence or the President's Award for Educational Achievement. For each award students receive certificates signed by the President, the U.S. Secretary of Education and you. A congratulatory letter from the President is included with the awards. There are also optional lapel pins, inscribed with the Presidential Seal, to accompany the certificates. There is no limit on the number of awards that your school can order, as long as the students meet the criteria presented.
