  • SERVANT LEADER SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION

    The John Wesley Honors College is pleased to announce its first-ever Servant Leader Scholarship Competition. Eight students will be selected from among the next incoming class of John Wesley Scholars to receive four-year scholarships in the following designations:

    • One student will receive a $20,000 scholarship ($5,000 per year).
    • Two students will receive a $10,000 scholarship ($2,500 per year).
    • Five students will receive a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 per year).

    Scholarships will be awarded by the Honors College Admissions Committee based on students’ promise for academic excellence and servant leadership at Indiana Wesleyan University. Students who are awarded the Servant Leader Scholarship are expected to remain members in good standing within the Honors College and consistently participate in leadership on campus throughout their undergraduate years.

    To be eligible to participate in the scholarship competition, students must first apply to the John Wesley Scholars Program, the Honors College’s program for incoming freshmen. From among the applicants, the most qualified students will be selected to interview for the program and participate in the scholarship competition. Competition dates for 2012 include Friday, February 17, and Friday, March 16; applications are due February 1 and March 1, respectively.

    Students will be evaluated for the scholarship competition based on (1) an interview with faculty members and a current Honors College student, (2) participation in a mock class discussion with an Honors College faculty member and other applicants (short readings will be provided prior to the event as a starting point for the discussion), and (3) an essay, composed onsite and related to the topic of servant leadership. Award recipients will be notified shortly after the second competition.

    On the day of the admission interview and scholarship competition, participants should plan to arrive at Indiana Wesleyan by 8:30 a.m.; the day will conclude with a celebratory banquet at 5:00 p.m. On-campus housing will be available to student participants who wish to arrive on Thursday evening. In addition, if students and their families are interested in learning more about the John Wesley Honors College, they are welcome to join in Honors Preview events held on the Thursdays before the admission interview and scholarship competition dates. Parent activities are also planned throughout the day of the competition.
