In order to be an effective leader, one must first be able to articulate who they are.
The Emerging Leaders Program at Weber State University is a year long program designed to help students do just that. Based on the concept that self knowledge leads to self leadership, and in turn, leadership of others, participants in the Emerging Leaders Program engage in an experiential, hands-on approach over the course of the year to develop by doing rather than being lectured to. Sessions revolve around small and large group discussions, team building activities, community service, StrengthsQuest development, and problem solving.
What will I learn in this program?
Emerging Leaders is a self discovery program designed to help you better know yourself and how you effectively lead others. Participants learn not only what makes them a success, but also what motivates them.
How much is the Scholarship?
Amounts are determined each year based on the number of applicants and available awards. Generally, awards are between $2,200 and $1,000 for the year.
