Leadership for Delaware's Future

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s Delaware Leaders Program offers a unique fellowship opportunity to develop vital leadership skills. During the yearlong fellowship, you and other motivate students will learn about America’s founding principles, establish connections with Delaware leaders, gain valuable work experience at top local organizations, and develop an appreciation for the history of—and opportunities in—Delaware. 

The fellowship provides a host of benefits, including:

  • Small-group dinners with Delaware leaders, such as former governor Pete du Pont, former Senate minority leader Charles Copeland, and local business leaders
  • Opportunities to meet national opinion leaders like New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, Senator Rand Paul, CNBC host Larry Kudlow, and Wall Street Journal writer Steve Moore
  • Special invitations to conferences and seminars
  • Internships at Delaware business and nonprofit organizations
  • Guided tours of cultural and historic sites in the Delaware Valley
  • Scholarships and fellowships, with prizes up to $30,000
