Editor's notes

Early decision here is non-binding, which is rare. Admitted early applicants keep their other applications open. If Campbell is a real contender, the Nov. 15 deadline costs you little and gets you an answer by Dec. 15.
Put the scholarship calendar on your wall. The four full-tuition awards need an admission offer first and a separate essay by Feb. 25, 2027, so an early application gives you time to write it. Two of the four prompts aren't posted, so ask the office before you plan around them.
There's no interview and no fee, and the personal statement is described as your interview on paper. Campbell's evaluation list includes an expressed calling to study law, community service and character. Write to those, with specifics.
