President’s Sacrificial Leadership Scholarship
The President’s Sacrificial Leadership Scholarship has been established
to honor students who have exhibited or have the potential to exhibit
extraordinary leadership qualities of a sacrificial nature. Sacrifice
is defined as a dying to all self-interests in order that those who
follow will discover in these sacrificial acts and attitude the potential
to rise to new heights of achievement. This achievement will, by its
very nature and source, propel the character of all involved to the
highest calling they have in Christ. The fulfillment of this calling
is identified in a leader who recognizes and follows a sacred vision,
who is willing to consider all others before himself or herself, who
focuses on the integrity of the process rather than the end result,
and who remains committed without constraints even to the point of
personal injury or death. Recipients of this scholarship are leaders
of the highest character, compassion, and Christ-like nature.
