Service Scholars

As a graduation requirement, each Ensworth senior is required to design and complete a project and present insights about the experience of the individual service projects. Some seniors choose to go beyond the minimum requirements and become Service Scholars by completing a research essay and a reflection essay, additional service hours, and a presentation. Several Service Scholars in this year's senior class chose to go one step further by publishing one or both of the essays based on their work with a variety of nonprofits. Service Scholars experience the challenges and rewards of designing and completing a purely independent project outside of any specific Ensworth class.
