1999 PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS ANNOUNCED

U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley today named 141 high school seniors as 1999 Presidential Scholars.

The scholars, who are recognized for their achievements in academics or the arts, will visit Washington, D.C., June 23- 27, and will be honored at a recognition ceremony where each will receive a Presidential Scholar medallion.

"These students have earned this high honor through their achievements, leadership and goodwill," Riley said. "Their commitment to excellence and their positive attitudes make these young scholars good role models for their peers and indeed, for people of all ages."

A 32-member commission on Presidential Scholars makes the final selection of scholars from among 2.5 million graduating high school seniors. The commission is appointed by the president and is comprised of eminent private citizens.

The 1999 scholars represent the 36th class of Presidential Scholars and join nearly 4,000 past honorees. They were selected on the basis of broad academic achievement, including SAT or ACT scores, essays, transcripts, leadership, character and commitment to high ideals. Twenty scholars also are being recognized for their accomplishments in the visual or performing arts, or creative writing. Arts scholars are selected by the commission from students who participate in the Arts Recognition and Talent Search, conducted by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

The 141 winners include one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and from U.S. families living abroad; 15 at-large and 20 scholars in the arts.

Since 1983, each Presidential Scholar has been asked to name the teacher who has had the greatest impact on his or her academic or artistic accomplishments. These educators also are invited to Washington to participate in the recognition ceremony and receive a certificate of excellence from the Education Department.
