<p>Just a bit unclear on the distinction between a state/regional award and a national award, specifically for two awards (that correlate to two of my major ECs):</p>
<p>Finalist at Princeton Classic. Are university invitationals considered national or is "national" reserved for the official NFL nationals? At the very least, this tournament was much larger and drew competitors from more states than State Championships.</p>
<p>Scholastic Gold Key. Are these national as well? I won one in Region-At-Large, which does involve entries from around the country (some international ones as well).</p>
