Society of Fellows Leadership Fund
Help us introduce the Aspen Institute to a new generation of promising young leaders.
The Society of Fellows Leadership Fund is an endowed scholarship that brings leaders from diverse backgrounds to Aspen Institute programs, seminars, and events.
With gifts of all sizes, generous friends are enabling us to discover, inspire, and nurture the leaders shaping our society’s future.
“I am convinced that the week I spent at the Executive Seminar was the most profoundly transformative experience of my adult life. The Seminar challenged fundamental aspects of my worldview in a magnificently executed fashion that felt incredibly natural as the week progressed. I’ve pledged my life in service to our great nation and the values it represents, but until attending the Seminar, I could not intelligently articulate what those values were, or how, when, and why they are in conflict. I can think of no finer experience to impart to those who earn the privilege of leading our men and women in uniform.”– Mason Dula, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Air Force
In 2015, the Society of Fellows Leadership Fund awarded scholarships to students in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley. This diverse group participated in a custom seminar that introduces young people to the Aspen ideal of exploring timeless values and promoting the open exhange of ideas.
