WUSA and TXSM Application Round 1: Written Application

In order to apply for the WUSA or TX Student Mentor (TXSM) Position, you must complete ALL steps below. Applicants who fail to complete or pass one of the below steps will not be considered for the role.

Step 1: Complete essay responses for the Written Application

The application includes two essay questions. We strongly suggest you download the application essay questions 2022-2023 and rubric and complete them in a word processor. The application must be completed in one sitting. When you are ready to fill out the application form, you can cut and paste your responses into the online form.

Please note, you will need to answer the first question and the question that relates to the position you are applying for. For example, if you are applying to be a TXSM, you will answer the first question and the TXSM specific question. You only need to answer all 3 questions if you are applying for both the First-Year (FY) WUSA Position and the TXSM Position. 

Some tips for success:

  • Abide by the requested word limit (250 words).
  • Answer every portion of the question as some have multiple parts.
  • Ask a trusted individual to help you review your responses.
