FCAHS Students Named Candidates in Presidential Scholars Program
Fox Chapel Area High School seniors Jacob Anthikad, Adam Ferris, Lucas Gravina, Katherine Haas, and Dylan Work have been selected as candidates in the 2024 United States Presidential Scholars Program. Approximately 5,000 students from approximately 3.3 million high school seniors graduating this year from across the U.S. have been named candidates in this year’s program, and 154 are from Pennsylvania.
Inclusion in the Presidential Scholars Program, begun in 1964, is one of the nation’s highest honors bestowed upon graduating high school seniors. Students are first selected for the program based on their superior academic achievements. They are then further evaluated on their academic achievements, leadership and service activities, and the quality and content of a submitted essay.
Approximately 600 students will be selected as Semifinalists in the program, and then students chosen as U.S. Presidential Scholars (up to 161) will be notified this spring.
