Applying to college can be overwhelming. Luckily, it's easy to nominate yourself or someone you know for a Discus Award. Just pick three areas of excellence, make your case for each in under 800 characters - you can even spice it up with images and video—and submit online. Students can nominate themselves or their friends, and teachers, counselors, and parents can nominate a student they know. Discus Award winners are one of a kind, and the award makes a great addition to your college application.
