HELM's Leadership Fellows Program combines a renewable four-year scholarship with an annual retreat, an international cross-cultural experience, and a structured four-year leadership curriculum, for members of a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation entering their first year of full-time undergraduate study. High school seniors and gap-year students are explicitly eligible, as are community-college students planning to transfer to a four-year institution after one or two years; current college students may not apply. Applicants submit an online application, transcript, two essays, and three letters of reference by March 15; there is no application fee.
DemographicsMust be a member of a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation in the US or Canada; membership is free, not a paid gate.
Award amount not published; program also includes an annual retreat and an international cross-cultural experience
