It just tells colleges that your DD is excelling within her minority group. It would be a useful award for an application, especially after the end of affirmative action.

They arent minority group awards anymore.

It’s better than Who’s Who. You don’t have to pay anything and College Board already has all your data.

The school award probably helps if you attend a new or more obscure high school. The first gen and rural awards can help if you qualify for those.

In short it’s free and it doesn’t hurt, so why not?
