About This Scholarship
Leadership Society of Arizona is proud to offer the Resilient Leader Scholarship for students who have made significant achievements despite overwhelming adversity in their lives. The most impactful leadership are not distinguished by their titles, incomes, or accomplishments. The best leaders have gone to exceeding lengths to better themselves.
A resilient young leader is one who has pursued continuous improvement despite facing uncommon challenges for their age.
Scholarship winners will be awarded between up to $5,000.
