Act Six is highly competitive and applications are due VERY EARLY in the year, well ahead of nearly all other college and scholarship applications. (Why so early?) 

The 2008 Cadre Four application window is now closed. You may still download the Cadre Four application for reference, but new applications for the 2009 Cadre Five process will not be available until summer 2008.

Download the 2008 Cadre Four application in PDF or Word format.

The application consists of six parts:

1. Crichton Application for Freshman Admission. A three-page form providing basic biographic, educational, and extracurricular information.
2. Personal Essays. A critical component in helping us get to know the applicant, these essays should be carefully and thoughtfully prepared.
3. Financial Information. Because of the nature of the scholarship commitment, an estimate of basic family financial information is required. Neither high nor low income levels will make students ineligible.
4. School Report and Official Transcript. This form reporting academic information must be completed by a school official and returned with an official transcript.
5. Academic Recommendation. A letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, or other person at school who is familiar with the applicant's academic work.
6. Community Recommendation. A letter of recommendation from a pastor, mentor, employer, or other person (possibly someone at school) familiar with the applicant's leadership potential and involvement outside of school.

There is no application fee to apply for Act Six. Applications of students not selected for Act Six will still be considered for regular admission to Crichton.

The applicant should mail or deliver the completed application along with all required forms and documents by January 18, 2008 directly to Act Six (not Crichton) at:
