Wake Forest University Presidential Scholarship for Distinguished Achievement

Description

The Presidential Scholarship for Distinguished Achievement is available to students admitted to Wake Forest who possess exceptional talents in art, dance, debate, music, and theatre. Though Presidential Scholars need not plan to pursue a major in the area of their talent, they are expected to participate actively in that activity on campus. Interested students must be prepared to present evidence of outstanding talent and are asked by the Presidential Scholarship Committee for documentation of that talent (such as art portfolios, debate records, taped performances, etc.) and recommendations. Preference will be given to applicants who apply by November 15. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
