Scholarships

As a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization, all Leadership Initiatives programs are heavily subsidized by our sponsors allowing us to offer programs with academic benefits at a lower cost than for-profit institutions who do not offer them.

For our 2026 Summer Internship Programs, we’ve received additional funding opportunities from our sponsors, which include Microsoft’s Youthspark program, the Starbucks Foundation, GlobalGiving, the International Youth Foundation, PrepScholar, and the Future First Foundation.

We’ve received over $500,000 in grant money to fund scholarship assistance for students across the nation.

A portion of these funds are reserved for scholarship assistance  in the form of $500.00 Future Leaders Mentorship Scholarships. For the 2026 Summer Internship sessions, we have allocated 300 Future Leader Mentorship Scholarships which are available on a first-come first-served basis. These scholarships have been divided amongst our ten development programs.

If you are interested in claiming one of these scholarships, please email registration@lichange.org.

Please Note: Our Scholarships Do Not Stack. This means you cannot apply more than one scholarship to attend our summer programs.
