The College Board 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 stand out during the admissions process.

Bexley’s senior honorees are:

Aaron Ligator, National Hispanic Recognition Award

The College Board requires students to have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams and also are African American, Hispanic American, or Indigenous. Students from rural or small towns also may receive this recognition.
