Diversity Scholarship Application
Tuition Assistance & Diversity Scholarships:
We encourage all applicants to seek tuition payment/reimbursement from their employer. In cases where the full cost of tuition is a burden for either the employer or the individual, a limited amount of tuition assistance is available on a first come, first serve basis, based on enrollment date. Tuition assistance is based upon demonstrated need and is limited to no more than 50% of the tuition cost. Eligibility for tuition assistance includes, but is not limited to, self-paying individuals or individuals sponsored by a nonprofit organization. To apply for tuition assistance, please submit the tuition assistance request form with your enrollment.
Leadership Columbus also offers a limited number of Diversity Scholarships of $1000 per participant. To apply for a Diversity Scholarship, please submit the Diversity Scholarship application form with your enrollment.
