About Us

Through years of serving higher education, the American Who’s Who Association, a Washington DC based organization, proves time and time again to be one the most highly regarded and respected recognition programs of its kind in the nation.

The American Who’s Who Association recognizes outstanding students through the publication of Who’s Who Registry of Academic Excellence. Those recognized have achieved exceptional academic success and overall achievements in their particular age group. These are young students who enhance the positive image of American youth through their contributions to their school and community. The Association was established to offer services that further encourage the honoring of students through excellence in performance and personal achievement.

Inclusion in the Who’s Who Registry of Academic Excellence serves as a positive influence for achieving students that have demonstrated excellence through outstanding academics, athletics, achievements, awards and extra curricular activities in and out of school. A listed student is automatically eligible to apply for one of the many scholarships awarded through the American Who’s Who Association and its partner the Student Scholarship Foundation.

It is important to note that there is no charge for being listed in the Who’s Who Registry of Academic Excellence and there is no application fee required for consideration of a scholarship award through the American Who’s Who Association.
