New York Times College Scholarship Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York Times College Scholarship Program is a prestigious academic scholarship competition for New York City high school seniors. Past winners have demonstrated academic achievement, a drive for success — especially in the face of financial and other obstacles — and community service. Furthermore, candidates whose parents did not attend college are favored. Each year, since 1999, 20 scholars are announced. There are a total of 200 Scholars to date.

Each year the New York Times receives roughly 1500 applications from seniors residing in New York City. The initial application includes an essay, a list of achievements and accomplishments, and the actual application which contains biographical and academic information. Applications are generally due mid-October.

- Additional three essays

Approximately 35 finalists are selected in February who are called in for a personal interview with the New York Times. Finalists must also submit an updated transcript with the senior year Fall semester grades.
