Sympatheia SCHOLARSHIP
We are made for each other
The Purpose:
The Sympatheia scholarship was started to recognize the investment one LaRue County High School student has made in their community by serving others. It could be a big initiative or the accumulation of small acts of kindness a student has engaged in - but the result is the same, a better community because we are made for each other.
As Ryan Holiday writes, “When other people suffer, we suffer. When the world suffers, we suffer. We are all unified and share the same substance. We share the same hopes and dreams.” The students applying for this scholarship understand that notion.
How to apply:
Write a 200-300 word essay on the following prompt
The prompt is simply this: How have you served your community and its members?
Possible examples could be:
How have you served your community and the world beyond it?
