2026 Interviews of Presidential and MLK Scholarship Candidates

Event Details

Take part in selecting the next generation of Saint Louis University scholars. This February and March, the Office of Admission will conduct interviews with candidates for SLU's coveted presidential and Martin Luther King Jr. scholarships. 

This year’s interviews will be conducted virtually through an online product called Standout. Candidates will submit recorded responses to interview questions prepared by current presidential and MLK scholars. Volunteers will then review and rate the candidates on their own time.

The Presidential Scholarship review period is from Jan. 30 - Feb. 19 and the MLK Scholarship review period is from March 3 - March 27.

Volunteer reviews for each scholarship are expected to take between 2-5 hours to complete. They can be completed all at once or in multiple sessions, whatever is best for your schedule.
