Who Should Apply

Each year Act Six recruits diverse, multicultural cadres of the Northwest's most promising emerging urban and community leaders. The Initiative seeks young people who want to use their college education to make a difference on campus and in their communities at home. Act Six scholars must be:

  • passionate about learning
  • eager to foster intercultural relationships
  • willing to step out of their comfort zones
  • committed to serving those around them
  • ready to make a difference on campus and at home

The selection process also places high value on applicants’:

  • teamwork
  • critical thinking
  • communication skills
  • academic potential

Applicants must be high school seniors planning to graduate in 2012 or must have previously graduated from high school in 2010 or 2011.  Students currently enrolled at four-year colleges, including partner colleges, are not eligible to apply.

While ethnicity and family income are considered as factors in selecting an intentionally diverse group of scholars, there are no income restrictions, and students from all ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Are You Eligible?

  1. Do you love your community and want to use your college education to make a difference as a leader on campus and at home?
