Leadership Initiatives will provide expert feedback on one draft of an essay used for scholarship applications. 

Experts will provide written feedback that will help you craft an essay or resume that stands out from the crowd. You will receive actionable advice on how to tell your story with passion and professionalism.

Each piece of writing must be submitted individually with a new submission form for each one. Do not submit multiple essays or resumes on one document.

Please allow for at least a two-week turnaround time for each edit evaluation between July 15th and October 1st. Turn around time can go up to at least three weeks between October 1st and December 15th.
