''To promote literature in this rising empire and to encourage the arts, have ever been amongst the warmest wishes of my heart'' (George Washington, 1798, first president of the United States and first major benefactor of Washington and Lee University). Describe a work of art that has influenced you, and discuss the impact it has had on you.

In mathematics, the shortest distance between two points on a flat surface is a straight line. While geometry is predictable, sometimes day to day life is not. Reflect on a time when your path was not as simple or direct as anticipated. How did you manage, and what did you learn?

We live in a world in which much of our self-representation is curated online via short-lived social media ‘stories’ and disappearing photos. What photo or other representation of yourself is authentically you? What does it say about your growth into the person you are today, and the person you want to become? Please use only the words in your essay to address this question. Do not include photographs or other materials in your answer.

W&L’s Spring Term is a four week, intensive experience during which students take only one course, allowing for undivided attention to the subject matter. Spring Term courses are known for innovative pedagogy, interdisciplinary scholarship, travel, and field work in diverse settings. If you could design a Spring Term course, what would you propose, and why would you choose to pursue that topic?

In his October, 1963, A Talk to Teachers, James Baldwin said “…the whole process of education occurs within a social framework and is designed to perpetuate the aims of society.” Yet, as he aptly notes, “the paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." Baldwin suggests that the purpose of education is to teach us to think for ourselves, to question – and change – the “framework” that we have come to understand and accept. What norms of your home or community have you become conscious of during your time in high school, and how would you like to use that knowledge to make it a better place?

JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

The Johnson Scholarship Program is W&L's merit-based scholarship program, recognizing approximately 44 outstanding first-year students with scholarship awards of at least tuition, room and board. Students with financial need above this amount will have any additional need met by the scholarship. In addition, Johnson Scholars receive funding up to $10,000 to support summer experiences during their time at W&L.

Applicants who wish to be considered for a Johnson Scholarship must submit a required application essay with a completed Common App by December 1, 2024, regardless of the applicant's admission plan. Doing so also ensures your consideration for all other available merit scholarships for which you may be eligible. Applying for the Johnson Scholarship Program does not constitute an early decision application and is not binding.

Scholarship finalists will be named with particular attention given to their records of academic achievement, demonstrated leadership and civic involvement, and their Johnson Scholarship application essays.

An admission plan selection (Regular or Early Decision) is required in the General section of your W&L application to proceed.
