[quote=Anonymous][quote]The description is so vague that it can be used for any students . . . which means that it WILL be used for athletes. Landon is not resigned to being number 2 in lacrosse in the area to Gonzaga (which the prior poster mentioned), and this is a way to give some extra money to athletes in general and lacrosse players in particular. This is probably also a response to Bullis, which has been recruiting like crazy in football-basketball-lacrosse and handing out money freely in the process. [/quote]

If you look at the criteria on the web site and not just the news story you will see it is not vague at all.

Students must complete the standard Landon application process by January 15, 2014. 
Students must score a minimum of 50 (percentile rank) on each section of the SSAT or score a minimum of the 5th stanine on each section of the ISEE exam. Scores must be received by January 31, 2014. 
Students must demonstrate strong character and be outstanding citizens at their current schools. 
Students must submit the Landon Scholar-Citizen Program essay and additional recommendation by January 31, 2014. (The Landon Scholar-Citizen Program essay information is located here.) 
Students must interview with a member of the selection committee by February 24, 2014.
