Applications

The application process is designed to help us learn about each participants’ desired career goals, motivation and interest in leadership development, and give back to their communities.  Our goal is to create a group of participants who will benefit from this experience, as well as contribute to the TLT: Tomorrow’s Leaders Today (TLT) program and to their communities now and in the future.

Tuition
The total non-refundable TLT tuition is $275 which helps to offset the costs of staff time, materials and other program costs required to operate the program. Upon Notification that the applicant has been selected, the balance of the tuition ($250) must be paid in full prior to the first session.

TLT is committed to ensuring that qualified young people can participate regardless of their family’s ability to pay tuition. For that reason, we have established a limited scholarship fund and award financial assistance based on need.  Scholarships are awarded based on family income, size and other factors related to a family’s ability to pay, as well as the financial assistance funds available.
