On Scholarship Interview Night, the Scholarship Judges sit on a panel and will interview each of the applicants for ELP I's internal scholarship competition. The scholarship winner receives a college scholarship of $500 that goes towards their second semester of tuition at any post-secondary institution. Judges use our pre-selected questions and rubric to score each applicant, and can draw on the students’ written application, resume and transcript to help guide them. The winner of the scholarship from each location is announced at the Emerging Leaders Program graduation ceremony. Apply to be a Spring 2019 Volunteer here: https://tinyurl.com/Spring2019Volunteer
