Project Description:

The Aspects of Leadership Summer Institute is an intensive five-week, fully funded program designed to equip LEDA Scholars with the skills needed to excel as students and leaders. The program offers leadership training, academic writing instruction, standardized test preparation, college guidance, and community building—all aimed at fostering intellectual growth and personal development.

A key component of the program is the Aspects of Leadership curriculum, which focuses on ethical and effective leadership by tackling pressing global policy challenges of the 21st century.
