==U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts==
In 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established by executive order of President Lyndon B. Johnson to recognize and honor the nation’s top graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrated talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields.
 
Scholars are selected annually by the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by the President, based on academic achievement, personal characteristics, leadership and service activities, and writing ability. This year, more than 5,500 candidates qualified for the 2016 program determined by outstanding performance on the College Board SAT and ACT exams, through nominations made by Chief State School Officers or the National YoungArts Foundation.
 
Since its inception, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program has honored more than 7,000 of the nation's high performing students. During the National Recognition Program, scholars are flown to D.C. to receive a Presidential Medallion, which is given to honorees during the annual ceremony in Washington, D.C.
 
U.S. Presidential Scholars each year are comprised of one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and from U.S. families living abroad, as well as 15 chosen at-large, 20 U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, and 20 U.S. Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education.

The National YoungArts Foundation acquired the landmark Bacardi Tower and Museum buildings in Miami, Florida in October 2012 and has since converted the buildings into the YoungArts Campus—the organization’s first national headquarters. The YoungArts Campus, located on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 21st Street—at the nexus of the Wynwood Arts District, Arts & Entertainment District and Edgewater—supports expanded programming in Miami and across the country. Since acquiring the historic Bacardi complex in 2012, YoungArts has been working to transform the Campus into a lively, multidisciplinary cultural center while preserving its beloved structures, which were granted a historic designation by the City of Miami Preservation Board in October 2009. http://www.youngarts.org/national-headquarters
