Norman Vincent Peale Scholarship Competition

Are you a top student involved in your school, church and community? Then make sure you apply for Northwestern’s Peale Scholarships. It could mean more than $56,000 toward the cost of your college education.

Each year, eight incoming freshmen are selected as Peale Scholars and awarded $14,000 scholarships. The awards are renewable each year, provided you maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and are recommended by an academic department and the student affairs office.

In order to apply, you must:

• Be ranked within the top 15 percent of your high school class or have a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA;
• Achieve a minimum ACT score of 26 (or SAT equivalent);
• Exhibit a strong Christian commitment;
• Demonstrate leadership skills and involvement in school, church or community activities; and
• Enroll as a full-time student at Northwestern beginning next fall.

The deadline to apply for a Peale Scholarship is Dec. 10. Finalists will participate in an on-campus competition Feb. 22 or 26, 2008. For an application form, contact the admissions office: admissions@nwciowa.edu, 1-800-747-4757 or 712-707-7130.
