The I-LEAD Program at the College of Saint Benedict: Providing Opportunity for Multicultural Leadership

The College of Saint Benedict and partner institution Saint John’s University first implemented the I-LEAD (Intercultural Leadership, Education and Development) Fellowship Program in 2005. The primary goals of the program are to attract, retain, and support students currently underrepresented (geographically, culturally, and socio-economically) on campus. To be eligible for the program, graduating high school students must demonstrate leadership, community service involvement, high academic achievement, and commitment to intercultural understanding.

I-LEAD fellows receive $7,500 scholarships (renewable for up to four years) and benefit from membership in a cohort that extends into the classroom. Fellows participate in a series of enrichment programs each semester and receive mentoring and support from faculty, staff, and other I-LEAD scholars. As I-LEAD scholars progress through college, they share their talents as leaders by mentoring successive I-LEAD students, participating in undergraduate research, and taking on a variety of campus leadership roles. They also participate in national and international service and leadership opportunities, for which the program provides financial support.
