The CNU President's Leadership Program aims to support high-achieving students who have shown a passion for engagement while in high school, and who demonstrate leadership potential. This program integrates the academic study of leadership, service learning, and personal development. The university considers students who apply as test-optional with added emphasis on high school curriculum rigor, as well as all other credentials and application materials (including interviews). Applicants must select "yes" for PLP interest in the Scholarships section of the Common Application, submit the supplemental essay when prompted, and schedule the required interview.
