Multicultural Leadership Scholars

A social justice approach to leadership

The Multicultural Leadership Scholars Program (MLS) in the CU Boulder School of Education supports the development of leaders from diverse backgrounds, experiences, concerns, knowledge, interests, and accomplishments. Through coursework, service, and socialization, scholars develop a deep awareness of their own values and belief systems as well as those of others. The program features meaningful relationships with professors and peers mentors, diverse practicum classes, career exploration, financial support (for those who are eligible), and an increased sense of community.

​MLS is open to undergraduate students who are interested in exploring leadership academically and through community engagement. Applications from first-generation students (neither parent graduated from a four-year college), Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) students, and LGBTQ+ students are strongly encouraged.
