Nobel laureate and BU professor Elie Wiesel once said: “There is divine beauty in learning…” To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests.” Is there a book, film, podcast or life experience that has made you feel more connected to your personal history/identity, and what is the most important thing you learned from it?

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Do not follow where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Describe a time in your life when you stepped out of your comfort zone and forged your own path. What motivated you to take that action, and how did it change your perspective? Share the lessons you learned from that experience and how it might shape your views as a Trustee Scholar.

    BENEFIT:

    A Trustee Scholarship covers full undergraduate tuition plus mandatory undergraduate student fees and is renewable for four years if certain criteria are met.
