497 California High School Students Chosen As 2017 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Candidates (List)

This spring, around 3.5 million high school seniors across the country will march to the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" to receive their diplomas. Of those, just 60 will be named Presidential Scholars.

The process of selection for 2017 Presidential Scholars has begun. The list of candidates has been published, with 497 selected from California. They were chosen based on superior academic and artistic achievements, leadership qualities, strong character and involvement in community and school activities.

The California students are among 4,000 candidates nationwide. The group will be whittled down to 800 semifinalists in April. No more than 161 Presidential Scholars will be chosen in May. They will be honored in Washington, D.C., with medals at a recognition ceremony.
