The Schwarzman Scholars selection process strives to understand candidates as individuals and to assess them within their own academic, professional, and cultural contexts. This applies to our assessment of applicants’ leadership potential. We look at essays, in particular the leadership essay, and at the letters of recommendation as key tools in understanding an applicant’s personal experience and approach to leadership. We want candidates to provide specific examples of their leadership that explore their abilities to understand challenges and opportunities, envision solutions, take initiative to act, inspire others to join an effort, and push through resistance and/or challenges to reach results. The applicant’s example(s) of leadership might address some but not all of these characteristics. Examples might include efforts such as founding a student organization that successfully addressed a pressing need on campus; taking on an influential role in an existing organization to redirect or revitalize it in the context of a new challenge; founding and running a startup to take advantage of an emerging opportunity. Candidates should NOT let these examples limit their thinking and should draw on their own personal experiences for similar examples of leadership. Candidates should avoid describing situations that might fall into one of the following categories, all of which are valuable learning and growth experiences, but do not give the committee a deeper understanding of the applicant’s leadership over extended periods of time:

1. Accomplishing a difficult but typical task assigned to you in the workplace;
2. Solving brief problems of cultural miscommunication while traveling or studying overseas;
3. Simply winning office in a student or community organization (It is, however, helpful to describe the challenges faced and accomplishments achieved in office);
4. Brief situational challenges (Focus instead on longer term projects and challenges). Other Info Duration The program of study, including all required courses and activities, is one year, beginning with mandatory orientation in late August and concluding with a graduation ceremony early the following July. In some instances, students from those areas may experience complications with signing employment contracts with some Chinese employers until the certificate of graduation is awarded. Other condition for award Married applicants may apply and will be at no disadvantage in the selection process. Spouses/partners may accompany Schwarzman Scholars to Beijing, but Scholars are expected to live in the College and participate fully in the program. Spouses/partners may not live or stay overnight in the College, and no additional funding will be provided to support spouses/partners living off-campus. Schwarzman Scholars and Tsinghua University will not be able to facilitate or sponsor Chinese visas for spouses/partners.
