LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Leadership Scholarship Program utilizes workshops, speakers, and adventure programs to help students identify and enhance their leadership potential. Students are selected based upon applications and interviews and new students will receive a scholarship in the amount of $1,500 per semester. 
 
This scholarship can be carried for four years of Hilbert College enrollment provided the student meets all program requirements and maintains a minimum of a 2.50 grade point average.

This is not a typical scholarship program; this program includes more than just accepting scholarship money. Along the way there will be a lot of work. All students accepted into the program must enroll in and successfully complete GS 160, Introduction to Leadership, in their first semester.

Students must also participate in one on-campus organization, and complete a series of events designed to help them prepare professional leadership skills over a four-year period of study. These events include lectures by distinguished leaders, leadership skill-building workshops, and outdoor adventure programs as well as community service programs.
 

Qualifications

Program participants must:
  • Achieve a high school average of an 83.0-89.9
  • Be a first-time freshman entering in the fall semester
  • Have a record of high school or community involvement
  • Complete and submit an application with two letters of reference
  • Complete an interview

Hilbert has prepared me to be a leader

Brenden Deady“The Leadership Program at Hilbert College has taught me a lot since my arrival. I have learned new and old leadership strategies from an array of different thinkers here at Hilbert. The most beneficial part of the program is being able to apply my newfound skills to everyday tasks around me. I think it is imperative to have leadership skills in any job field today. I feel as though the Hilbert College Leadership Program has prepared me best for all obstacles to come in life and I am proud to be a part of the team.”
