Eighty-two Idaho students are candidates for the U.S. Department of Education’s Presidential Scholars Program.
Nationwide, up to 161 students will be selected as Presidential Scholars. The U.S. Department of Education will release its list of winners — usually one male and one female student per state — in the summer.
The state superintendent chooses candidates who have demonstrated excellence in academics, arts or career-technical education.
