Bohnett Leadership Fellows

David Bohnett Gay & Lesbian
Leadership Fellows 

The Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute is extremely proud of its collaboration with the David Bohnett Foundation to send outstanding LGBT leaders to the Harvard Kennedy School’s Senior Executives in State and Local Government program.  Designed primarily for senior-level executives from state, county and local governments, and their elected counterparts, the summer program hones skills and builds the leadership potential of already-accomplished individuals from across the U.S.

GLLI will provide a limited number of partial scholarships for its Bohnett Leadership Fellows.   Each class of Fellows reflects a broad spectrum of functional responsibilities and levels of government, diversity of experiences, and potential for further growth in their career.   It is expected that each Fellow will provide some portion of the tuition costs to attend the program.  Final awards in this highly competitive process are at the discretion of GLLI.   The Harvard Kennedy School is responsible for admissions decisions, irrespective of GLLI's scholarship awards.

The application deadline for the Fellowship is Friday, March 11, 2011.  Please note that the GLLI application is due prior to the final application deadline for the Harvard Kennedy School.
