Merit-based scholarships exist for 14-day summer expeditions combined with post-course activities that are designed to bring together a diverse group of urban and suburban students (ages 15 to 17) from across the greater Philadelphia metropolitan region. To qualify for these competitive awards, students must demonstrate leadership qualities in their academic, athletic, and social lives. These unique courses challenge young people to strengthen their own leadership abilities while also encouraging those of their "team."
Funding for the Youth Leadership Corp Expeditions comes primarily from endowment funds, foundation grants, and individual sponsors. Applicants pay a minimal refundable admission fee.

"Outward Bound quickly relinquishes the decision-making process to the students, who in turn realize potential consequences... Course instructors teach, and then the course begins!"
