The publishers of the newspaper USA Today award
$2,500 to 20 top students nationwide, selected on the basis of academic
talent, creativity, and leadership. The heart of this application is an
essay in which you describe an outstanding original academic or intellectual
product. In 2002, Northwestern had three winners; a human communications
major, who had founded and directed a non-profit agency dedicated to sending
medical supplies to developing countries, placed on the 1st team, an American
studies major placed on the 2nd team, and a Medill student placed on the
3rd team. Applications are available online and are due by the deadline. |
