All six winning students will walk on the Oscar stage during Sunday's ceremony. They're each getting a makeover and formal tuxedo or gown for the event as well.

Other student presenters include AJ Young, from Columbia College Chicago, and Tatenda Mbudzi, a Zimbabwe native studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. Meron said he hopes the student-presenters become an annual Oscar tradition. "There's a legacy that we bring," he said. "And if we never do the show again, we would love for this to continue." ___ Online:
