Future Leaders Endorsement Form

Thank you for agreeing to endorse an applicant for the Hidden Warriors Future Leaders Scholarship.

The Hidden Warriors Future Leaders Scholarship is a character-centered opportunity program. We recognize that grades, credentials, accomplishments, and traditional measures of achievement do not always tell us who a person truly is or what they may be capable of becoming.

Your endorsement is an important part of our selection process. We are asking you to help The Hidden Warriors Foundation understand the applicant through the eyes of someone who personally knows them.

We are especially interested in qualities such as character, integrity, determination, personal growth, leadership, sacrifice, compassion, responsibility, perseverance, work ethic, service to others, and commitment to moving forward.

Please answer the questions based upon your personal knowledge of the applicant. Specific examples are especially helpful.

Your endorsement must be submitted directly by you. Please do not give your completed responses to the applicant to submit on your behalf.

Fields marked as required must be completed before the endorsement can be submitted.

Before submitting this endorsement, please review the statements below carefully.
