We are seeking emerging leaders who aim to develop and apply entrepreneurial mindsets, such as resiliency in the face of setbacks and creative problem solving, while also cultivating character virtues in themselves. The Siegfried Fellows is a highly selective, cohort-based, 10-month immersive program designed to expand and deepen understanding of oneself as a leader, promote connections with and learning from regional leaders, and inspire initiative for positive impact.

The program will run during the 2026-27 academic year (August-May).
