Hey guys. I really want to go to WashU, but if I was lucky enough to even get accepted, the only way I can attend probably is if I can get myself a full or nice partial scholarship. I know the university offers several programs university wide, and also programs for specific departments. I am a dedicated varsity athlete, but my community service is average. I help at a hospital - but I’m very busy with my sport - and I also help at sporting events. Nothing special. I’ve read the application process for the scholarship programs and they all seem heavily geared towards community leadership. Would I have any chance in winning one of these awards, or are they mainly going to kids who have started charities, have 1000+ hours of service, made a significant change for their community, etc.?
