Application Eligibility
All applicants must be at least 25 years of age as of July 1, 2024. Applicants must be able to demonstrate leadership in their places of work or in the community and have a strong commitment and desire to serve the public good.
Some dates of the program may require participants to miss work or family functions. Class members cannot miss more than one day in aggregate, and must be in attendance for the first day, the September luncheon, the DC trip, and the last day of class in full. Failure to meet these requirements will jeopardize the class member’s graduation and alumna status. If an applicant has a conflict with one or more program dates below, that applicant is encouraged to apply another year. All sessions will be held in downtown Indianapolis, with the exception of the trip to Washington, D.C.
While there is no cost to participate in the program, participants will be responsible for paying for their transportation to and from the program and flying to and from Washington D.C. in April. Financial aid is available for those who need assistance with transportation costs. All financial aid requests are kept confidential. Hotel rooms will be provided at no cost to class members for sessions that are two days or more.
