   • What are the reasons for your interests? Analyze your childhood. How were your interests shaped from your upbringing? What was the most difficult time in your life? How did you overcome this difficulty?
   • Submit one essay that you plan to send or have sent as part of a college application. This may be on any topic. If your college application did not require an essay, please submit an essay on the topic of your choice.

4. Please ask two individuals who know you well to submit letters of recommendation. At least one letter should be from a teacher or other school professional.

This profile would include information on the school location, student enrollment and/or types of courses offered. If the school does not offer a school profile the applicant will not be penalized if it is not included with the application materials.

Application materials must be mailed in one packet. Transcripts and letters of recommendation should not be sent under separate cover. To verify receipt of your application, include a self-addressed stamped envelope. A photograph is optional. Incomplete, e-mailed or faxed applications will not be considered. We suggest that you keep copies of your application materials. Semi-finalists will be contacted in March and winners will be announced on our web site in April.
