Community Leadership Scholarship 

We are currently accepting applications for our Community Leadership Scholarship. Deadline to submit completed applications is Friday, September 25th at 4:00pm.

The Community Leadership Scholarship was created by Mikva Challenge in 2003.  The Mikva Challenge believes that one of the most important skills high school students can learn is how to be effective civic leaders in their communities. The Scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding civic leadership qualities.  This year, we will award the Scholarship to 10-15 seniors, depending on available resources. The value of the scholarship is $2,500.

——————— SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS ———————

• Be a senior attending an accredited high school in Chicago.
