Hansen Leadership Institute 2027 in San Diego: Fully Funded Summer Programme (Ages 20–25)

A three-week summer leadership programme at the University of San Diego, California, from 29 June to 20 July 2027, fully funded by the Fred J. Hansen Foundation. International applicants must apply by 15 January 2027 (11:55 pm Pacific Time), and references must arrive by the same deadline. Fellows train in leadership, public speaking, mediation, conflict resolution, human rights and international cooperation, and work on a project for their own communities. Funding covers airfare, housing, meals and health insurance. The programme is aimed at upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and recent graduates aged roughly 20 to 25, with preference for those who have shown leadership outside the classroom and have not visited the United States before. Full attendance is mandatory; late arrival or early departure is not allowed. International applications are reviewed from February and results come in March.
