Is the writing component of either the ACT or SAT assessment considered when determining eligibility for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program?
No. Since the writing component is not a required part of both assessments, we do not use that score to determine eligibility for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. Eligible candidates are determined using the Math and Critical Reading scores for the SAT, and the English, Math, Reading and Science scores for the ACT.
