Picking a college is hard enough - getting into the right college can be even harder.

If you’re in the business of advising high school students about college planning, you know that there are a lot of great students out there who distinguish themselves in areas other than grades and test scores.  The Discus Awards believe that getting into college should be about more than just numbers.  The awards focus on ten attributes that demonstrate a student’s capacity to succeed both in and outside the classroom.

Share the Discus Awards program with your students

We encourage you to share the Discus Awards opportunity with your students.  You may post a link (www.DiscusAwards.com) to your school's website or you may download the following flyer and post it in an appropriate location on campus.

Nominate Your Standout Students for a Discus Award

Nominating a student for a Discus Award gives college counselors a tool to champion kids who may fly under the radar in traditional measures of academic or athletic merit.  By nominating your students, you can show them how to cultivate their unique strengths and find their own path to success.  It’s all about finding the perfect fit between individual schools and students with diverse, real-world passions.

Join the Discus judging panel

The Discus Awards are judged by respected high school counselors and educators.  The judging panel is open to those who would like to participate.  Contact us at info<at>discusawards<dot>com if you’d like to make an impact on how colleges look beyond statistics to find great additions for their college communities.
