Who is eligible to apply?

To apply for admission into the Montgomery Leadership Program, students must have completed at least two years of college (a rising junior) and be in good standing with the university. Applicants must also have (and maintain) a 2.5 cumulative grade point average and be in good standing with the Code of Conduct.

When can I apply?

Applications are accepted online during the Spring and Summer semesters, and a new class of Montgomery Leadership "Scholars" begins in August of each Fall semester. Look for the online application to open in April.

How are Scholars Chosen?

Montgomery Leadership Scholars are selected based on their recognized academic, leadership, and character traits. After completing the online application, a selection committee reviews the student applications. Selected applicants will then complete an interview process, which includes attending a mixer. A staff member will notify students of their admission into the Montgomery Leadership Program within two weeks of their interview.

Thus far, over 300 MLP Scholars have graduated from the program. Our core values include the highest commitment to ethics, integrity, courage, impeccable character, and the motivation of others to achieve the extraordinary. You'll be asked to commit your time to the learning and service opportunities the program offers and to make a personal commitment to these values.

If you're among those willing to take the challenge, we'll provide a framework of activities that focus on developing the whole person. We'll call on a host of people who can guide you in enhancing skills to support your growth as the next generation of leaders in business, academics, politics, and the broad spectrum of professional life.
