Throughout their four years at 51����, Ellen Wilson Leadership Fellows have access to intensive co-curricular leadership training, fellowship awards and other opportunities.

The program awards $5,000 to 20 incoming first-year students who show strong leadership skills or an interest in building skills. The fellowship awards can be used to fund leadership growth opportunities such as academic research, unpaid internships, attending conferences, and study abroad programs. Wilson Fellows learn about leadership from faculty, Leaders in Residence, alumni mentors, their peers, and staff. This transformative opportunity helps shape their long-term path after 51���� — to be part of a community that focuses on leadership as a subject and on developing strong, bold, ethical leaders for the future.

The goals of the program are to support a sense of confidence, empowerment, and belonging at 51����; to enable the pursuit of greater leadership opportunities; to build confidence in the classroom and a stronger sense of self-knowledge; and to help students apply their growing leadership skills to a variety of situations and life experiences.
