The National Recognition Programs awarded honors to over 550 FISD juniors and seniors.
The College Board has awarded over 550 Frisco ISD students with academic honors as part of the National Recognition Programs.
The College Board National Recognition Programs create pathways to college for students from underrepresented communities by awarding them academic honors and connecting them with universities across the country.
New this year is recognition for first-generation college students, for those whose parents do not have a bachelor’s degree.
To be eligible for the College Board's National Recognition Program, sophomores and juniors had to score in the top 10% on the PSAT/NMSQT or score a 3 or higher on two or more distinct AP Exams. In addition, students must have at least a 3.5 GPA and self-identify as African American, Hispanic or Indigenous or attend school in a rural area or small town. Students are notified of their eligibility by the College Board and can apply through the BigFuture program.
Frisco ISD knows that all students can achieve and deserve the opportunity to find success. In turn, all FISD 10th and 11th graders are automatically registered to take the PSAT during the school day each fall.
Congratulations to all of these students who earned at least one of the following awards from the College Board and were recognized at the regular February Board meeting.
