Hey everyone! I was just wondering if AP Scholar Awards are considered national or international awards? I'm trying to classify them correctly on my college applications.
Hey there! AP Scholar Awards are considered national awards because they are conferred by the College Board, which operates primarily in the United States. While there are international students who take AP exams, the vast majority of test-takers are in the U.S., and the awards are primarily recognized within the country. So, when listing them on your college applications, go ahead and classify them as national awards. Good luck with your applications!
