2025 Gold Medal Summit Registration

We will be holding our annual Spring Giving campaign beginning in mid-March to give Congressional Award graduation cords to those who donate. As a 2025 Gold Medalist, we are giving you a head start if you want to donate $35 and get yours mailed early (and at a slight discount!).

The Congressional Award is offering a limited number of registration fee waivers for those facing financial difficulty. Our team will be reviewing applications as they come in and we will notify you as soon as possible if your application has been accepted for further review or declined in the next few weeks. Fee waivers will cover the $600 registration fee for 1 Gold Medalist and 1 guest - we are unable to cover additional guest fees, travel, or accommodation costs.

Medalists applying for a registration fee waiver need to meet one (1) of the following conditions and be able to provide documentation:

• You're enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs like Upward Bound).
• Your family receives public assistance.
• You're unhoused or reside in federally subsidized public housing or a foster home.

Checking this box will allow you to register for the Summit without payment. If your waiver application is declined, you are still welcome to pay the full price registration fee in order to attend and we will send you a payment link to complete your registration. If accepted, no further action will be required.
