Washington and Lee is blessed with a remarkably strong and diverse applicant pool each year. Based on application materials only, we have many more potential scholarship winners than we have scholarships to offer. As the Johnson Scholarship program is one that celebrates and develops leadership and integrity, and as W & L is a university that is interested in a student’s character as well as his/her achievements, the on-campus competition serves as a valuable tool for us to best select the students for whom the scholarship is designed.
