Who can apply to the Leadership Academy?

The only criteria to apply for the Leadership Academy is that you will be returning to your chapter for at least one additional semester/quarter as an undergraduate student.

Who typically attends the Leadership Academy?

Typically the majority of attendees are students who have just completed their sophomore or junior year. However, each year a number of students who just completed their freshman year or their senior year (and are returning for a fifth year) are accepted to the Leadership Academy.

Do I have to be an officer to be accepted to the Leadership Academy?

Not necessarily. The application is comprised of many different aspects, and officer positions are only one portion of the application. Each year we have some men at the Leadership Academy who currently do not hold a chapter or campus office, so this should not discourage anyone from applying.

What are the costs for attending the Leadership Academy?

Bethany: $175 without travel
$375 with travel

Sailing: $300 without travel
$550 with travel

Is there a fee for applying to the Leadership Academy?

There is no fee to apply to the Leadership Academy. If your application is accepted, you will be required to pay your registration fee and travel costs.

If I applied to the Leadership Academy last year but was not accepted can I apply again?

ABSOLUTELY. We have many applicants each year, but unfortunately there are not enough spaces for everyone to attend. If your application was not selected previously, but you would still like to attend, you should definitely apply again for 2012. There are many Leadership Academy alumni who applied two or more times before their application was accepted, so just because you might not have been accepted previously does not mean that your application will not be accepted in 2012. In fact, you probably have more insight and experience this year and that may help you in your application in 2012.

Can more than one person from my chapter apply to the Leadership Academy?

Definitely. The Leadership Academy is a personal experience and any Delt who is interested in improving himself should apply. There is no set limit to the number of Delts from a single chapter who can apply to the Leadership Academy.

Who decides who will attend the Leadership Academy?

All applications are anonymously graded by a panel of alumni volunteers who score the applications by a variety of criteria. The results of their scoring process determine who will attend the Leadership Academy.

Can I apply to more than one Leadership Academy experience?

Yes! Please note though that there is a separate application for each individual academy. The questions asked are the same, though. If you’d like to apply to more than one academy, you may want to write out your answers in a word file and copy and paste your responses in the application so you don’t have to re-type all of your answers.
