Discus Awards College Scholarships
When most people think of college scholarships, they are usually thinking of a meteoric GPA or a fantastic win-loss record on a big sports team. Not the Discus Awards.
Discus Awards scholarships recognize leaders on the dance team, drywall hangers for Habitat for Humanity, shift leaders at Starbucks, active youth group members, and social media gurus. Put simply, Discus Awards Scholarships recognize a new category of high school students: the all-around standout. Sound like you?
Whether you're a high school athlete, Mathlete, or poet, the Discus Awards have athletic, academic, or art scholarships for you. These student scholarships give you the means to continue fueling your talents and passions.
If you're planning for college and getting ready to take that big step, the Discus Awards scholarships for high school seniors will give you a leg up. Or if you've still got a couple of years left in high school, put the scholarship towards your three areas of excellence. You're versatile; shouldn't your scholarships and awards be, too?

What makes a Great Nomination?
Our judges are teachers, guidance counselors, school administrators and college admissions officers who get to work with hundreds of students each year. Make your nomination stand out with the following tips:
- Be specific about your accomplishments in a particular category, think “I’m the president of my school’s banjo enthusiasts club” rather than “I love music.”
- Show our judges your accomplishments in action with photos and videos. A picture is worth 1,000 words, let our judges see you in all your greatness.
- Embrace your differences - you’re unique in your qualities, abilities and accomplishments; pick achievements that separate you from the pack.
