Atwood Leadership and Service Scholarship
The Atwood Leadership and Service Scholarship, founded by Darian Atwood, is designed to recognize and reward exceptional students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and a commitment to service in their communities.
Those young people who embody the qualities of leadership, integrity, and passion for making a positive difference will be the remarkable standouts of their generation, leading the world and leaving their impact. Many people have a self-centric worldview, focusing on their own desires and needs and not on the effects their actions have on others. Those few who demonstrate true service and selflessness should be encouraged and aided in their quest to make their mark.
This scholarship seeks to support students who will be the leaders of tomorrow so they can complete their education.
Any high school student in Florida may apply for this scholarship if they demonstrate leadership, integrity, and commitment to change.
To apply, tell us about a time when you demonstrated leadership, how you plan to further your goals through leadership, and the importance of service and leadership. Additionally, upload a professional photo.
Describe a time when you demonstrated leadership in your community or school and the impact it had on those around you. How do you plan to use your leadership skills to contribute to your university community and further your personal and professional goals? In your response, highlight the importance of service in leadership and provide specific examples that showcase your commitment to making a positive difference.
