I had the honor of being selected to participate in the Ithaca College Leadership Scholar Program. The Ithaca College Leadership Scholarship is a renewable award that recognizes a demonstrated record of leadership and academic performance. Scholars are required to maintain a minimum 2.75 GPA, participate in one on-campus organization and one service project, and attend three Student Leadership Institute workshops per semester. Scholars are also required to create and present a portfolio of their experiences twice a year.
