Merit-based scholarships for 14-day summer expeditions combined with post-course activities, 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 individuals. Applicants pay a minimal refundable admission fee.
