Academic Honors
At the George Washington University, each school with undergraduate students selects a Distinguished Scholar (The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences selects up to three Distinguished Scholars.)
GW also recognizes dedication to excellence in learning with its highest undergraduate academic recognition, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. It is presented to students who are approximately the top two percent of their schools, by grade point average, that have earned at least 60 credits at the university by the fall 2024 semester, at least 30 of which were earned at the university.
