2023 Honors Community Application

About You

We want to get to know you, your plans, your dreams, and most importantly what you've been doing or have done to help you achieve them. We don't want the same old college essay. Please choose a creative medium (video, narrated slideshow, podcast, portfolio or artworks or designs, social media site, etc.) that sets you apart.

If you are applying for the Eisenhart Community Scholars

Tell us a story (using video, pictures, audio, and/or words) that helps us understand a time you saw a community need and worked with others to address it.

If you are applying for the Gordon Leadership Scholars

Tell us about your experiences to this point that would help you contribute to building Jewish life at YCP

If you are applying for the Graham Collaborative Innovation Fellows

Tell us a story (using video, pictures, audio, and/or words) that helps us understand something important about you and how you've been spending your time and energy especially in your happiest, most productive, and/or most creative moments.
Tell (or show) us about a new business venture/initiative/program you'd like to start, (or one you have started) or another goal you have for your future career. Again, you can use words, pictures, audio, or video.

If you are applying for the Presidential Research Fellows

Share with us a document, visual, video, or other artifact that represents the product of past research–and your approach to research. Remember that the products of research take many forms, so it could be an academic paper, a creative project, community work, etc., as long as it involves primary or secondary research, or both.

If you are applying for the STEM Scholars

Tell us why you are interested in joining the STEM residential learning community--what might you gain and what will you contribute?
Tell (or show) us about a scientific problem you'd most likely to solve, and why (using video, pictures, audio, and/or words).

You have two options:

You can submit a Microsoft Word Document, PDF, or PowerPoint that tells your story.
You could send us a URL link that will allow us to access something you have created on YouTube or other media sites.

Tell us about your submission(s). How does it relate to the specific Honors Community Program(s) for which you are applying? If you submitted a previously credited video or peice of art, tell us why you chose it.
