The 161 Presidential Scholars of the year 2022, who have been selected from across the United States, include as many as 30 Indian-origin students with a demonstrated commitment to education, technological innovation, and community service<\/strong>. This honor to them is collectively a new feather in the cap of the Indian immigrants who form a little more than 1% of the total US population. Since 1964, the US Presidential Scholars Program has been giving the nation the best of graduating high school seniors. The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars handpicks up to 161 scholars every year based on various parameters, including academic excellence, artistic accomplishment, technical prowess, community service, and leadership traits.<\/p>\n \u201cOur 2022 Presidential Scholars represent the best of America, and remind us that when empowered by education, there are no limits to what our young people can achieve,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “Today, I join President Biden to celebrate a class of scholars whose pursuit of knowledge, generosity of spirit, and exceptional talents bring our nation tremendous pride. Thanks to them; I know America’s future is bright.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
