2025 College Board Emerging Leader Conference Scholarship Nomination

Thank you for your interest in nominating a colleague to attend a College Board national event. The College Board Higher Ed Membership and Access team believes that these events can be eye-opening and rewarding for newer staff, particularly those who are within their first five years in the field. We welcome your nominations using this form for our Emerging Leader Conference Scholarship. Those selected for this prestigious scholarship will receive a scholarship covering the registration fee for one of College Board's national events.

A few notes about the nomination process:

Nominees must be currently employed in admissions, financial aid, or enrollment management at College Board member institutions.
Due to limited scholarship availability, nominators may only nominate one member of their staff for each of the available conferences and all nominees should be professionals who have not previously attended a College Board conference.
Nominees must have been in the field of admissions, financial aid, or enrollment for five years or fewer.
Nominees selected for a conference scholarship will be contacted and sent registration information from College Board staff.
Nominators must be the nominee's supervisor or within their office leadership that can both speak to their qualifications and affirm institutional support for participation in this program, if selected. Self-nominations are not allowed.
Scholarships cover the registration fee for the conference; travel and hotel expenses are the responsibility of the individual/institution.
