The Montgomery Leadership Program (MLP) at Mississippi State is accepting applications (including references) until Tuesday [Sept. 22] for the next class of student leaders beginning in Spring 2016.

MLP Fellows undergo a three-semester study of leadership skills and strategies while actively engaging in their community through service.

Students selected to be a MLP Fellow will receive a $250 scholarship the first semester of the program, a $500 scholarship each of the following two semesters and class credit all three semesters.

To become a MLP Fellow, you must have completed at least one year of college and be in good standing as an MSU student. If you are willing to take the challenge, MLP will equip you with the tools necessary to transform lives -- both yours and others.
