Definition of Proficiency in a Sport or Arts Activity

All applicants are required to be proficient in the specialty programs to which the applicant is applying. What follows is the definition of proficiency for our Scholar-Athlete and Scholar-Artist applicants:

• Definition of “Proficiency” in a Sport: Since the Inaugural World Scholar-Athlete Games in 1993, the Institute has welcomed many fine athletes to the Scholar-Athlete Games Program. In order to qualify as “proficient” in a sport, a candidate for the 2011 World Scholar-Athlete Games must be a member of a high school team (freshman, JV and varsity) or a club team. In the letter of recommendation, you will find a “Proficiency” box for the recommender to confirm your proficiency in your chosen sport.
  
  
• Definition of “Proficiency” in one of the Arts Activities: In order to qualify as proficient in one of the arts activities, a candidate must make sure that his or her recommender provides evidence of such proficiency in the particular arts activity of choice by checking the “Proficiency” box. In some cases, the 2011 World Scholar-Athlete Games Director of the particular arts activity, e.g. Choir, Dance, Symphony, etc. will contact the recommender for further details.
