ISI is proud to celebrate the achievements of its students who earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program.

The program, available on BigFuture®, helps students stand out on college and scholarship applications. Every year, talented students claim an award based on their achievement on College Board assessments, including the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and AP® Exams.

In 2025, the program offered three awards to students of all backgrounds and across schools nationwide: FirstGeneration Recognition Award, Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award, and, for the first time, the School Recognition Award, to honor top-performing students in every high school, including lesser-known schools.

This year, six ISI students were awarded. Congratulations to Jules Dassonville, Isabela Gonzalez Knarr, Michael Kreutz, Léo-Paul Perrin, Isaac Pleasure-Kranowitz, and Kadin Doles (not pictured)!

Students verify their eligibility during their sophomore or junior year by meeting the following criteria:
Take the PSAT/NMSQT (10th, 11th), PSAT 10 (10th), and/or AP Exams (by the end of 10th).
Earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher (at least 3.3 or 87%-89%) by the time of submission.
Be one of the top 10% of test takers in their high school, among first-generation college students in their state, and/or among rural and small-town students in their state, OR earn a 3+ on 2 or more distinct AP Exams in the 8th, 9th, and/or 10th grade.

The recognition serves as a signal for colleges eager to recruit awardees and as an opportunity for communities to celebrate students as they start a new school year. Thousands of nonprofit colleges and scholarship organizations using the College Board Student Search Service™ can connect with awardees during the recruitment process to share more about their postsecondary programs.
