    About this scholarship

    This program recognizes incoming first-year students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities during their high school careers and plan to develop these skills further. Applicants must submit an essay focusing on one of five specific leadership traits, such as gentleness, humility, gratitude, hospitality, or wisdom, along with a resume. Finalists are selected to participate in an interview with student life staff to determine the final recipients. Because the university is an NCAA Division III institution, athletic leadership cannot be considered for this award.

    • 12th grade
    • Usable at: 4-year college, private college

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
