  • Spring 2015 My Advice to the Class of 2015! INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Message from MSA President Henry G
    HE TANDARD T SFrom the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools Spring 2015 My Advice to the Class of 2015! INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Message from MSA President Henry G. Cram, Ed.D Pennsylvania High School First to be Awarded Program of Distinction in Trying to find a message relevant to the graduates of 2015 is a challenge. Visual Arts Study hard, because success in life is based on what you know might be an appropriate theme, though not necessarily true. Nearly 200 Schools Choose your friends wisely because success is based on who you know is more pragmatic, but far less inspirational. Accredited or Reaccredited The truth is, what really counts is who you are and the kind of person you choose to become. Volunteer Voices That message is backed up by considerable anecdotal evidence from my own experience and a growing body of research. Psychologist Dr. Daniel Goleman, for You Spoke, We example, tells us that our emotional intelligence may be more important in determining our success than our IQ. Listened! Kristen van Ogtrop, writer for TIME Magazine, suggests something similar by acknowledging that much of what students really need to learn won’t get them in to college, but will make them better people. Instead of “racing to the top” van Ogtrop recommends aiming for the top and getting there “without knocking everyone else out of the way”. Who we become is more about learning to get along, working hard, making sacrifices and figuring out for ourselves who we want to be and the role we want to play in the world.

PRAY WITH US FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS WHO WILL TRANSFORM CULTURE At Christian Union, we are prayerfully seeking God for transformation at Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale. Each year, thousands of students pass through the halls of these institutions and move out into positions of leadership in our society. Unfortunately, over 90% have had no regular Christian influence in their lives during these critical college years. Christian Union recently launched a monthly e-mail that describes the key prayer needs of the ministry. Campus-specific prayer e-mails are also available for Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Will you join us and pray regularly for the development of Christian leaders at some of our nation’s leading universities?

  • Wilberforce Scholarship Application 2019
    THE WILBERFORCE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION Instruction Page The Wilberforce School is a classical Christian School in Princeton, New Jersey. The school’s mission is to provide a distinctively Christian education characterized by academic excellence and joyful discovery within a classical framework. The Wilberforce Scholarship The Wilberforce Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship, to be given each year to an outstanding new* Upper School (Grade 9-12) student. The scholarship covers 90% of tuition. Wilberforce Scholars who maintain a GPA of 3.5 and exemplary conduct will have the scholarship renewed each year until graduation from upper school. This is a merit-based, competitive scholarship. Candidates must complete the standard admissions application process and a Wilberforce Scholarship application (comprised of one essay and a character reference). The scholarship committee will call in finalists for interviews. William Wilberforce The Wilberforce Scholarship receives its name from William Wilberforce, the British Parliamentarian whose labors led to the end of slavery in the British Colonies. Wilberforce’s faith in Jesus Christ changed him from a careless, wealthy young politician to a tireless, compassionate public servant. As the prophet Daniel found ways to apply the principles of his faith in a position of leadership among other leaders who did not share his faith, Wilberforce developed and used his gifts of leadership and persuasion to champion countless efforts to better a society. He persisted for decades in the tasks to which God had called him, despite illness, physical threats, and enormous opposition. We at The Wilberforce School wish to encourage young people who seek to emulate William Wilberforce, affecting their world as Wilberforce did his.
