Winston Verdult, of North Tustin, California, Named Candidate in U.S. Presidential Scholars Program
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by Executive Order of the President to recognize some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic success, leadership, and service to school and community. It was expanded in 1979 to recognize students demonstrating exceptional scholarship and talent in the visual, creative, and performing arts. In 2015, the program was expanded once again to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical fields. Annually, up to 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars are chosen from among that year’s senior class, representing excellence in education and the promise of greatness in America’s youth.
The 60 arts candidates were selected for their exceptional performance in the disciplines of dance, film/video, instrumental music, jazz, voice, photography, theater, visual arts, design, and creative writing. Further consideration will be based on students’ essays, self-assessments, description of activities, school recommendations, and school transcripts. Of these, up to 20 will be selected as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts.
The Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of up to 32 eminent citizens appointed by the President, will select the finalists, and the U.S. Department of Education will announce the Scholars in May.
U.S. Presidential Scholars are honored for their accomplishments during the National Recognition Program each June. To commemorate their achievement, the Scholars are awarded the Presidential Scholars Medallion.
Winston Verdult is the child of Suzanne and Winston J. Verdult and can be reached at houseofwinstons@gmail.com.

Yungblud has been forced to cancel his highly anticipated Liverpool concert, originally scheduled for July 12th at Mountford Hall, due to a debilitating bout of tonsillitis.
The artist shared a heartfelt statement expressing his regret: “I’m so sorry, I’ve woken up and my tonsillitis is really bad. I can’t even swallow, let alone sing… I promise I’m gonna make it up to you.” He acknowledged the inconvenience to fans, particularly those who had traveled to attend the show.
In a separate, candid post, Yungblud alluded to financial struggles, stating, “My bar is on the floor, money wise. So I really don’t wanna cancel. But if I do I promise I’ll make it up to you.” This adds another layer of complexity to the cancellation.
Despite this setback, Yungblud is still slated to perform at the TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow on July 14th. Fans are encouraged to check for updates regarding future performances and potential rescheduling of the Liverpool show.
