• Graduating senior from Waverly Central High School, Tioga Central High School, New York, or a Bradford County, PA high school - also including parochial schools and home-schooled students.
  

• Must be accepted into an accredited four-year college or university.
  

• Write an essay of 250-500 words, double spaced that describes areas in your life where you have demonstrated leadership and overcame obstacles either through your school, social, or family life.  While you can certainly write about an experience that has had a profound effect on your life, it is important to remember that we are not evaluating you based upon the seriousness of the obstacle you overcame. The goal of the essay is to show us that you have intelligence and fortitude to handle challenges that come your way.
  

• Proficient academic performance in high school but not necessarily the highest grades. 
  

• Please provide a list of school-based activities (including leadership positions, clubs and athletics) as well as community volunteer activities and the number of months or years.
