What does it cover? Total offer is of $5,000.

Selection criteria: The award committee will consider an applicant’s nomination dossier as a unified whole, not simply an assemblage of compartments. Each section of the dossier should reinforce its overall unity. Narrative flow unfolds and reveals the nominee’s character and achievements, and each section adds substance and evidence, constructing a compelling nomination. Because this is an educational leadership award, the dossier’s greatest challenge is defining and demonstrating educational leadership, which goes beyond transcripts, lists of committees chaired, and clubs and/or groups joined. The individual will have to be “brought to life” through concrete evidence, examples, quotes, compelling anecdotes, persuasive support letters, and the inspiring believability of the nominee’s own words. Tell the story of yourself as a learner, a thought-provoker, a visionary, and a community member in action. Do not over-use disciplinary or academic jargon. The award committee is interested in applications reflecting the applicant’s creativity, distinctiveness and personality, and shedding light on an exceptional leadership profile. The nominator (see below) is encouraged to “make a case” for the applicant’s leadership profile by connecting the material within the dossier to show how the applicant is deserving of this Fellowship.

How to Apply: The mode of applying is online.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The deadline for submitting a scholarship application is January 14, 2013.
