Congratulations, Matthew and Joshua!
Montini Catholic seniors Joshua Brunke and Matthew Silveyra, recently named AP Scholar with Honor (Joshua) and AP Scholar with Distinction (Matthew), have earned additional academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program.
These National Recognition Programs grant students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service. Many colleges intentionally recruit awardees through College Board’s Student Search Service.
Students who are eligible for National Recognition have earned a GPA of 3.3 or higher and have excelled on the Fall 2023 PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 and scored in the top 10% of test takers from the award program in Illinois; or earned a score of 3+ on two or more distinct AP Exams in the 9th and/or 10th grade; and are first-generation African American or Black, Hispanic or Latino, Indigenous or Native and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with underrepresented students who they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of Big Future. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”
"Congratulations to Josh and Matthew on this impressive academic achievement," said Principal Chris Tiritilli. "Not only are they deserving of this award due to their hard work and dedication to their academics, but this accomplishment will also help both students stand out during the college application process. Both of these young men are great examples of what we hope all of our Broncos to be!"
