The LEAF award is dependent on the amount requested; however, typically two to three awards are offered with the average award between $2,000-$5,000.

Scholar Leader is an upper-class residential living-learning community involving a one-year residence in Elliott or Stoddard Halls - two of the most historic residence halls in the nation. Endowments for each room provide partial scholarships to those students selected to live in the community. Each year, approximately 75 students are invited to join the Scholar Leader community after a multi-stage application and selection process. The Scholar Leader community encourages resident-guided programming, academic involvement, service projects, and the opportunity to explore leadership through intensive group engagement.
