Supplemental Questions
  1. How many semesters of college will you have completed by the start of next fall?
  2. The Norlin Scholars community provides much more than a financial award and we’d like to know how this community speaks to you. Before you answer these questions, please look in depth at the Norlin pages of our website. As you answer, avoid directly quoting from the site and provide plenty of concrete details from your experience. We should be reading anecdotes about you and your experiences, not just well-written general claims. Show us your authentic self and voice. Please note: In our review process, we will read your whole scholarship application; therefore, avoid repeating or cutting and pasting answers.
    • 1) The Norlin Scholars program values a model of learning and self-awareness that invites the sharing of cultural wealth. What will you bring from your community or communities that will enhance the Norlin Scholars as a group? (300 word limit)
    • 2) After living in an intentional community for some time, Parker Palmer says he developed a new definition of what community means: “Community is that place where the person you least want to live with always lives.” Talk about a time when you had to work across difference to collaborate effectively and build community. How did you navigate the relational challenges involved? What skills did you rely on or develop through the experience? (350 word limit)
