LIOS Scholarships for Multicultural Leaders

« back to list

LIOS Graduate College is committed to expanding leadership development in support of the multitude of cultures and communities comprising our world. We believe the health of these diverse communities demand leaders capable of adapting to a broad range of approaches and styles. To help emerging leaders from varying cultural backgrounds develop a signature presence and style appropriate to the needs of our global community, we are offering SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MULTICULTURAL LEADERS. Specifically, these scholarships are intended to substantially assist qualified under-represented minority candidates with their financial aid requirements. This amount will vary according to the needs of the recipient. This is renewable at the beginning of the second year of study and is distributed each semester to students who are in good standing (i.e., finished their first-year work with an overall AC grade) and who continue in good standing each semester.
