The Military Child Education Coalition® (MCEC®) is thrilled to announce scholarship recipients for the Fall 2024 Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program (FHSLP) at the prestigious United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, October 20-25. This program, established by MCEC in 2006, is designed to enhance the leadership abilities of students and strengthen their Student 2 Student® (S2S™) teams on campus.
Eleven exceptional students have been selected to participate in this weeklong, intensive experience, where they will engage in leadership activities and lessons alongside cadets and other S2S leaders. The program aims to equip these students with the necessary tools and knowledge to further develop their local S2S programs.
The FHSLP not only focuses on building leadership skills but also provides a platform for students to share their program challenges and successes with their peers. Distinguished guests will also be present to offer insights on overcoming obstacles and building personal character.
We are excited to introduce the following students who will be attending the FHSLP:
Amelia, Grade 10, Fort Leavenworth High School, Leavenworth KS
Andrew, Grade 11, Burkburnett High School, Burkburnett, TX
