Can someone give me a good example of academic awards? Are Debate awards considered academic awards?
Debate is considered an EC even though it is an “academic” EC. I don’t think your award would be considered academic.
Academic awards: National Merit Finalist (or semi-finalist), Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Science Olympiad winners, Creative writing awards, National Math awards, Intel Science awards, National AP Scholar, etc.
Thank you @TiggyB62
Is winning a National scholarship considered an academic honor or award? This is not a need based scholarship, so it is purely based on achievements.
I think that may be considered an academic award
