2026 U.S. Presidential scholarship candidates

The Dunham School is proud to announce that the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars has selected Aiden Fee ’26 and Camille Istre ’26 as candidates for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, one of the highest honors bestowed upon graduating seniors.

Out of the approximately 3.9 million students expected to graduate from high school this year, only about 4,000 of the nation’s top achievers were invited to apply to the prestigious program. This spring, a review committee will select up to 161 Presidential Scholars based on their academic excellence, leadership, and service to their schools, and communities.

Aiden and Camille also have advanced as Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. As Finalists, they are eligible to compete for a National Merit Scholarship awarded later this spring.

Please join us in congratulating Aiden and Camille for their outstanding academic achievements.
