LIVE BIG APPLICATION

Provide a short essay (250–500 words) answering the following question:

What do you believe it means to

“Live Big Like Jack”?

There’s no perfect answer.

To us, “living big” isn’t about money, popularity, or having life completely figured out. It’s about how you show up in the world — how you treat people, the effort you give, the risks you’re willing to take, and the kind of life you want to build.

Maybe “living big” means:

  • working hard

  • helping others

  • chasing goals

  • learning a trade

  • serving your community

  • being a great friend

  • overcoming challenges

  • refusing to sit on the sidelines of your own life

We want to hear YOUR perspective.

Be honest.
Be real
Don’t overthink it.

Write like a human — not a robot or a scholarship brochure.

This is your chance to tell us who you are and what kind of future you want to build.
