Scholarship Interview
One portion of the Regents/Presidential Scholarship Competition includes a 15-minute interview. The interview is conducted by three members of the Wartburg community, which may include faculty, staff, alumni and students. The interview questions are designed for us to get to know you better. They may relate to your involvement in activities and past achievements; your goals and aspirations for the future; and your thoughts and ideas on community and public issues. The interviews will be evaluated on your poise, articulation, creativity, academic and personal motivation, and potential for leadership at Wartburg.

Scholarship Essay
During an assigned time, you will be given 60 minutes to complete an essay on one of several provided topics. Essays will be written in a computer lab. This piece of writing serves not only as a writing sample, but enables us to learn more about you and your experiences. Essays will be evaluated on thesis, support, organization, creativity, and edited American English.
