PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS FOUNDATION

The Presidential Scholars Foundation is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization authorized by the Commission on Presidential Scholars as the sole entity to expand and enhance the public-private partnership that makes the Presidential Scholars Program possible. The Foundation seeks to provide financial support for the program, to develop and maintain the Alumni Society, and to ensure the future ability of the Commission to recognize the outstanding young adults who are annually named as presidential Scholars. In reaching out to corporate and philanthropic America, the Foundation emphasizes the value of public awareness of the success in education, and supports the mission of the program to serve the national interest in encouraging high attainment by students in secondary schools and in furthering the accomplishments of such students and ensuring their success in college. In creating the Alumni Society, the Foundation has given past Scholars an outlet for their enormous energy and devotion to the cause of unity in achievement and service. This program is the highest national means to encourage and entice other students to reach for the stars. We are proud to continue to seek additional active members of the society; potential members of the Board, and anyone willing to devote time and energy to assure the continuation of this program.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS ALUMNI SOCIETY

With over 5,000 United States Presidential Scholars having been selected beginning 1964, the Scholars are well represented throughout the nation’s industry, the sciences, the humanities, medicine, education, professions, the arts, and in service fields. Their diversity of interests, lifestyles, geographic regions, ages, and races are gold mines of opportunity for them and for you, as you explore common interests in the issues of educational opportunity, community service, and friendship.

The mission of the Alumni Society, created in 1996, is: to uphold the values of the Presidential Scholars and to create an organization with the goal of public service; to use their diverse talents to enhance and increase the educational opportunities of American students; and to assist the Presidential Scholars Foundation in its mission of assuring the continuity of the Presidential Scholars Program.
