Recipients earning this distinction receive a PVSA medallion, a certificate of achievement, and a congratulatory letter from the President of the United States. Awards may be showcased on college applications.
What are the benefits of having PVSA in your college application?
Students College applications will stand out amongst the crowd. The PVSA gives students a unique opportunity to establish themselves as leaders. Whether the student wants to start a club, lead an extracurricular program, or be influential in an esteemed area of research at the College, they will need the ability to connect with and inspire others. Giving up hundreds of hours of one’s personal time to help others for nothing in return is something that certainly demands respect and puts the student on a path to being a college leader.
