LecchinoLeadership & Community Service AwardThe Application
Your contribution deserves to be seen.
The process is intentionally reflective and accessible. Apply for yourself, or nominate a student whose leadership deserves recognition.
Before you begin
English, French, or German. Your story, in your words.
Students may apply for themselves, or be nominated by a peer, teacher, family member, or community member. Applications and supporting materials may be prepared in English, French, or German.
Applications typically close in spring, shortly after the April break. The current form always displays the official deadline for that year.

A thoughtful application
Show the difference the work made.
Strong applications do more than list activities. They help the reader understand what prompted the work, how others were involved, what changed, and what you learned along the way.
Clarity and reflection matter more than length. Specific moments and honest observations are often the best place to begin.
