Application Forms

The application is available only line. The application covers not only your academic background, but also your extracurricular activities and personal interests. Your leadership experience and career goals are of particular interest to Project Stepping Stone application reviewers. So be thorough in telling us your story.

Accepted applicants are expected to participate in the program with 100 percent completion, including attendance of all workshops and social functions listed in the program guide, as well as abiding by the guidelines and code of conduct for the program. We suggest that you work on the essay questions before you start the online application process. This will give you time to think about the essays, type them up and make sure there are no spelling errors. If you type it up and save it, you will be able to "cut and paste" the essay into the online application. This will save you time. Here are the essay question we will be using this year:

1. Describe a leadership role that you have had within a school club, sport, extracurricular activity, work, home or church group, etc. What did you learn from this leadership experience? (150 - 250 words)

2. French poet and novelist Anatole France said, "To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe." Please share with us one of your dreams in life. (150 - 250 words)

3. Imagine that you have the opportunity to travel back through time. At what point in history would you like to stop and why?
