Summer Scholarship Expeditions

YOUTH LEADERSHIP CORPS EXPEDITION

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 Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic 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 Youth Leadership Corp (YLC) Expeditions comes primarily from endowment funds, foundation grants and individuals. Applicants pay a nominal admission fee.

Applications and admissions are reviewed from April to June on a rolling basis. If interested, please be encouraged to submit an application early.

2010 YLC Dates:  July 19th - August 1st, 2010

Get out and Lead (goal) Program

Modeled after the Youth Leadership Corps, the GOAL Program is intended for 7th & 8th grade student who are interested in cultivating their leadership potential.  Qualified applicants receive merit-based scholarships for a 10-day multi-element summer course.  Participants will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate leadership potential in their academic, athletic and/or social lives.  Offering a one-of-a-kind leadership experience, the GOAL program encourages participants to Get Out And Lead -- to set goals, to work toward achieving these goals and to develop themselves and their peers throughout the process.

Like the YLC, in addition to the scholarship funds provided by endowments, grants and generous individuals, applicants must pay a nominal admission fee.

"Self-confidence and self-discovery are not enough by themselves as a preparation for a responsible position in adult society. They need to be tempered with a spirit of compassion and tolerance, as sense of humanity and concern for others. That is why all Outward Bound courses lay great emphasis on the principle of service to others."
