Designed to honor an applicant who goes above and beyond to show true leadership on local and national scales, the $1,000 scholarship will go toward Cook's upcoming academic endeavors at Harvard Law School.

Mary Catherine Cook wrote her essay on the three most important elements of a true community leader, drawing from lessons she has learned in her extensive studies, volunteer work, and internships. Those three attributes, she writes, are "a service-driven heart, humble intelligence, and integrity."

In service to others, she has worked on issues related to healthcare disparities in rural Appalachian areas during Alternative Spring Break ventures at Vanderbilt.

Recalling her time spent interning under Judge David Proctor in the Northern District of Alabama, Cook writes that any legal professional's service should start with personal integrity. "He is careful to not even jaywalk," she writes, for fear that others would perceive this minor infraction as an indictment on our legal system.
