DePaul Leadership Scholars

Program Overview

The DePaul Leadership Scholars program is a collaborative effort between the Student Leadership Institute and University Ministry at DePaul University.  Twenty incoming first-year students are selected annually for their service and leadership within their respective communities.  Through four years of leadership development and service opportunities, DePaul Leadership Scholars develop a strong understanding of the DePaul University mission and their own role in leading and serving their communities.

DePaul Leadership Scholarship Goals:

• Scholars will engage in service to the DePaul and Chicago communities.
• Scholars will engage in experiences which will enhance their understanding of leadership and their capacity for leadership.
• Scholars will develop their capacity for Socially Responsible Leadership (SRL).
• Scholars will engage in experiences that will allow them to build relationships with other students, faculty and staff at DePaul.
• Through the Vincentians In Action (VIA) model, students will experience, and be conversant with, the foundational Vincentian values of community, spirituality and service.
