The McElroy Scholarship Competition also includes a 15-minute interview conducted by three members of the Wartburg community (a current McElroy Scholar and two faculty/staff members). The interview questions are designed to help us get to know you better. They may relate to your involvement in activities, your past achievements, your goals and aspirations for the future, and your thoughts and ideas on community and public issues. The interview will help us evaluate your potential for leadership at Wartburg. Interviews will be scheduled on an individual basis.
