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.
