When reviewing your application, we want to get to know you as well as we can. There is a limit to what grades and test scores can tell us so we ask you to answer a series of short answer essays. Use this opportunity to introduce yourself to the Awards Committee. Be open and honest. What you tell us in your essays allows us to better understand the information you have provided in your application.
Any questions about the application process may be directed to Taylor Rhody, Executive Director, via email at bmeaglefoundation@gmail.com
