Military-Affiliated Student Leadership Scholarship

The Military-Affiliated Student Leadership Program is a competitive, cohort-based program designed to build and improve skills among military-affiliated students who take on leadership roles that further strengthen the KU military-affiliated community.

Funding allows fellows to explore worthy leadership experiences and dedicate time to serving the campus community. Students will also receive continued mentoring to further develop and enhance their leadership knowledge and skills. With the help of a mentor, students design their own fellowship path that will typically range 1-2 years.
