Applications for the Spring 2021 semester are open now and due October 14!

The Kairos application consists of two distinct parts: an online application and a phone interview. Before you can fill out the application, you must prepare the following documents. All documents (except the short answer and faculty recommendation) should be saved in PDF format with your first and last name in the file name.

1. Cover Letter

This letter should express your interest in and reasons for applying to be a Kairos Scholar. Please comment on your expectations of a member of the community of Kairos, based upon your knowledge of the program thus far and your previous experiences in various communities. Describe the qualities you as an individual will contribute to this academic community.



2. Curriculum Vitae

Your CV should cover your involvement in the following areas: - Important classes you have taken - Clubs, organizations, and extracurricular activities in which you have participated - Honors and awards you have received - Volunteer and/or other service experience - Any international travel or experience abroad



3. Faculty References

You will need to give the names of two Lee faculty members (or faculty members from your previous institution) who we may contact as a references for your candidacy.



4. Short Responses

You should not upload a pdf of your short answers, but we recommend having them already written so you can simply copy and paste them into the provided spaces of the online application. The questions are as follows: - Beyond academics, what are you passionate about? - What are the virtues and vices of individualism? - Which academic subject do find least interesting? Why? - What is something about which you have changed your mind in the last few years?



Required Documents

Once you have all four documents prepared, you can now fill out this online application. 

 

Finally, student members of the Kairos Scholars Recruitment Committee would like to conduct a brief phone interview with each applicant. The interviewer will ask you a few questions over the phone, allowing the application reviewers to get to know you better. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the Kairos Scholars program at this time.

​

You will be asked to sign-up for a half-hour interview time as part of the online application. If you need to reschedule or are unable to be interviewed at your scheduled time, please contact us at kairos@leeuniversity.edu. We will make every attempt to reschedule missed interviews.
