Leda Scholars Application: 2016-2017

I did apply. What subject did you guys write about? @lcr2200 @univbound101

I am going to apply for the Princeton Award in Race Relations next year, but I don’t live near one of the 27 regions, so the most that I could win is a Certificate of Accomplishment.

I really want to win the Yale Bassett Award. It’s kinda like they made it specifically for me.

I was hoping many students didn’t apply.

I’m so nervous for feedback from LEDA. I really hope it’s good news for all of us!

Did any of you apply to F&M College Prep? I did. Plus if you successfully complete the program, you receive a $500 stipend.

If you didn’t start the app yet, it’s too late to start :frowning:

@lcr2200 @univbound101 @Hamlon
Do any of you know if there are there any other awards/competitions like the Yale Bassett Award or the Princeton Prize in Race Relations?

@aspiringgirl Princeton Prize and Yale Basset were the only two awards that I found for Race Relations, but there are two major merit-based scholarships that juniors can apply for: the Coolidge Scholarships, which is due February 22 and the Cameron Scholarship, which is due May 26

Are any of you apart of NSHSS? Are any of you NSHSS Ambassadors?

Nope, I heard that nshss is a scam

@icr2200 @aspiringgirl I heard it was a scam as well. Most people say that putting stuff like NSHSS is more harmful than helpful for your application lol

@CIRCUITDEBATER @aspiringgirl I’ve heard things about it as well, I know some people who are apart of it, but I don’t know what the organization does as a whole you know? Just a question, and wow it can hurt applications, that’s crazy!

I’m so nervous, people will begin finding out if they made it or not within the next 10 days!

Me too, but I’m staying positive. We should make a GroupMe to stay connected!

Let’s do it, I’m nervous and excited. I’m wishing the best for everyone!

Yes @aspiringgirl we should make a GroupMe

Let’s do it!

Ok. I will make on. PM me your name, email, or phone number that you use for GroupMe

@lcr2200 I added you to the GroupMe.

@univbound101 I sent you my details, please add me.

Does anyone know the official dates for LEDA 2017?

Anyone hear anything from LEDA yet?
