The United States President and the United States Secretary of Education present awards through the President’s Education Awards Program (PEAP). Founded in 1983, PEAP. The program’s goal is to honour elementary, middle, and high school students for their academic accomplishments.
The principal of the participating school has the sole discretion to present either the President’s Award for Educational Excellence or the President’s Award for Educational Achievement.
Students must be enrolled in elementary, middle, or high school, and they must have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 to be eligible for the President’s Award for Educational Excellence. They need to demonstrate a strong record of academic excellence, perform at a certain level on state exams, or get a teacher’s recommendation.
The President’s Award for Educational Excellence winners will each get a free certificate with a gold seal. For an additional cost, pins based on the student’s grade level (elementary, middle, and high school) can be ordered.
The President’s Award for Educational Achievement winners will each get a free certificate with a silver seal. With an additional charge, pins can be ordered. The President’s Award for Educational Achievement, in contrast to the President’s Award for Educational Excellence, comes with a single pin for all grade levels.
