An award worth over $700 for student leaders who are active in their College Union/Student Center or Student Activities Office. The Region 12 I-LEAD® Registration Grant is designed to provide financial assistance to a student within the region who has distinguished himself/herself in both academic and co-curricular activities within the Union or Student Activities Office. Up to two (2) recipients will be selected.
I-LEAD® is an intensive, live-in, learning experience. I-LEAD® is an institute, not a conference. As an institute, the program offers a unified curriculum to all participants. The curriculum is grounded by “The Role of the College Union” statement and the I-LEAD® values: inclusion, shared vision, risk taking, collaboration, celebration, human dignity, community building, and integrity. For more information on I-LEAD®, please see the following ACUI web page link: http://www.acui.org/Acui/Programs/. (Check the “Student Development Programs” tab).
How Much Money?
It pays $595 for registration, meals, lodging, materials and program activities
at the upcoming I-LEAD® Institute (scheduled at Indiana University
for August 5-10, 2006). The grant does not cover travel costs to the I-LEAD®
site location.
It also pays for your registration to the ACUI Region 12 Conference hosted by Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas on October 27-29, 2006. Travel, lodging and meals not covered by the conference are the responsibility of the Grant recipient or his/her institution. Recipients will be recognized during the Saturday evening banquet and will be expected to present an educational session based on your I-LEAD® experiences.
