In addition to monetary scholarship awards, other perquisites are made available to Leadership Fellows. For example, Fellows will engage in special meetings with leadership guests. In the recent past, Elon Law hosted national leaders such as David Gergen, historian David McCullough, former Governor Jim Hunt, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, and former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Henry Frye.
Leadership Fellows will also have an opportunity to serve in a public sector organization through a summer externship that will be offered with course credit and a scholarship covering the tuition for the externship course and living expenses.
There are two application deadlines for Fellows entering fall 2010: an early deadline of February 12, 2010, and a final deadline of March 26, 2010. Please review the Fellows application attached above for additional details.
