The Congressional Award is an official honor granted by the U.S. Congress to youth ages 14–24. It emphasizes long-term commitment rather than “competitive difficulty,” aligning closely with what top universities value: authenticity, sustained effort, self-discipline, leadership, and community engagement.
Key Features
1️⃣ Process-oriented, not difficulty-driven
The award recognizes consistent effort over time. Honors are granted directly by Members of Congress—highly credible and impactful on any resume.
2️⃣ Four core areas with self-set goals
Students design their own activities and achieve measurable growth in:
✅ Voluntary Public Service
✅ Personal Development
✅ Physical Fitness
✅ Expedition/Exploration
3️⃣ Multiple award levels, highly showcase-able
Students can earn Bronze / Silver / Gold Certificates and Bronze / Silver / Gold Medals.
The highest honor—the Gold Medal—is presented in Washington, D.C. by a Member of Congress.
