Recognizing Top Performers on the CLT10
Each year, Classic Learning Test recognizes top performers on the CLT10, our college preparatory exam and alternative to the PSAT. Distinguished Scholars are the freshmen or sophomores who earned the top score at their respective school, Regional Scholars are the freshmen or sophomores who landed in the top 5% of their respective region, and National Award recipients are the top 50 high school sophomores across the United States.
National Award recipients are awarded a $2,500 scholarship to help cover the cost of tuition and room and board at any CLT Partner College. Additionally, several CLT Partner Colleges offer their own unique scholarships for National Award recipients, including the University of Tulsa Honors College, Grove City College, and Christendom College. View our Scholarships page to learn more.
