- The Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award, a $500 award, is designed to recognize excellence in young children and is awarded to one student in each state who is in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 and has distinguished himself or herself in academics, leadership, or the arts. Originally the award program was established through funds provided by Maggie and Reg Green in honor of their seven-year-old son Nicholas. The Greens feel it is important to recognize gifts and talents in children who are now at the age that Nicholas was when he died. Once a winner is selected by the state affiliate organization, NAGC may be contacted by the state affiliate to produce a national award certificate and to create a letter of congratulations to the winner's parent that includes a one-year NAGC parent membership.
