Discus Awards

Applying to college can be overwhelming. Luckily, it's easy to nominate yourself or someone you know for a Discus Award. Just pick three areas of excellence, make your case for each in under 750 characters - you can even spice it up with images and video—and submit online. Students can nominate themselves or their friends, and teachers, counselors, and parents can nominate a student they know. Discus Award winners are one of a kind, and the award makes a great addition to your college application.
Winners are named every month, and highlighted in national and local media. Students can post their awards to favorite social media sites, and include them in their college applications. The Discus Awards’ unconventional focus gives college admissions officers a complete, multi-faceted view of potential students.
Each school year, the Discus Awards identify a select group of winners who represent the cream of the cream of the crop. These exceptional all-around students will receive $2,000 college scholarships to help pursue their talents and meet their educational goals.
