We want to hear your story in your own way. Rather than requiring a traditional essay, we encourage you to share your community service experience through whatever creative format feels most natural to you.
Tell us about a time you gave back to your community. What did you do, why did it matter to you, and how has that experience shaped who you are today? How do you plan to continue making a difference as you move into the next chapter of your life?
Files must be submitted in one of the following formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, PNG, MP3, MP4, or WAV. Written essays should not exceed 800 words. Video and audio submissions should not exceed two minutes.
There is no single “right” format. We care about authenticity, effort, and the genuine impact of your service. A heartfelt two-minute video from your phone can be just as compelling as a polished essay.
