REMINDER: For those intending to apply for Washington and Lee’s merit-based Johnson Scholarship, your supplemental essay must be submitted by 11:59 PM in your local time zone on December 1.
The Johnson Scholarship for Leadership and Integrity provides full tuition, housing, and meals, plus $10,000 in enhancement funds to support travel, research, and internships.
Do you think that the Dec. 1 deadline also applies to other optional elements? We don’t see them on the Common App, and I read somewhere that they are in the applicant portal, so my student would have to submit via the Common App before moving on to the optional essays. Not sure we can do all that before Dec. 1, honestly.
The complete CA application plus the Johnson supplemental essay are all due by Dec 1. If you have additional questions, I suggest contacting the admissions office; they are very helpful.
Same here! Submitted last night, whew. My child wasn’t sure that their Johnson essay was their best work (and I have to agree), but at least they did try for it. It’s exhausting for a 17 year-old to be this introspective .
