Special notes: Seminary graduation is strongly recommended, if not mandatory, for all students who plan to attend a Church affiliated college or university. The Presidential Scholar Award and New Testament Reading Awards are Frederick Stake awards and are not recognized by BYU, however, they are a good indicator of a student’s willingness to work hard and achieve a goal and may be mentioned by seminary teachers in their student recommendations to those colleges.
