You say they “have an agenda”. Usually that is a somewhat pejorative term. So…what’s the agenda? I don’t think it’s anything more than trying to attract very smart, accomplished kids who will add a lot to the campus community. My son is also a Johnson Scholar. I am very glad he is going to a top notch school like W&L. He had other choices.
The school says the scholarship is meant to attract students with demonstrated leadership skills who will enhance the campus community. Why must you look for “agendas”? Sometimes a thing is just what people say it is.
