We want to get to know you better. Please choose TWO essay topics, one from (I.) Life and one from (II.) Faith and share your thoughts with us, in detail. We would like for you to write at least one page for each topic for us to read. Remember this section is very heavily weighted. Do your best thinking! If this is not your first year to apply for a scholarship, please do not answer the same questions, choose one you haven't done before. If you choose to use the same question for your essay make sure it is a VERY different perspective/answer.
