ELLC and the LEAD Alliance
The CU Leadership, Excellence, Achievement, and Diversity Alliance, is a group of multidisciplinary academic neighborhoods whose students, faculty, and staff are united to promote diversity and educational excellence for students of color and first generation students with financial need. The Ethnic Living and Learning Community Leadership Studies Program is an academic and residential neighborhood in the LEAD Alliance. These neighborhoods build community by providing academic enrichment, leadership activities, scholarships, small group classes, personal links to faculty and staff, gathering spaces, counseling, mentoring, and opportunities for community service.
The ELLC-LEAD Scholarship program recruits and helps retain a diverse student body. The scholarship program offers a range of services and financial benefits for highly motivated students of color and first generation college students with financial need. Eligible students must be enrolled in the ELLC. Recipients receive a scholarship annually and may participate in the program for four years at CU-Boulder contingent upon their academic progress and fulfillment of program requirements.
