Apply for a Young Leaders Scholarship

To apply for a Young Leaders scholarship, a CC and the individual must complete a general scholarship application in addition to the application on this page.

The regional teams, including a representative from the Young Leaders Program planning team, will evaluate the Young Leaders scholarship applications from their own regions and make allocation recommendations to the Young Leaders Program planning team and global office.  The global office will receive the final recommendations and inform the individual, their CC and their regional staff when a scholarship is offered.

We look forward to reading and considering your application!
