WHAT ARE LEADER WEEKS?

During their time within the Hamilton Empowerment Program, scholars will have the opportunity to attend three fully expenses paid leadership conferences called leader weeks. Students will be able to engage in the following:

  • SAT/ACT Prep

  • College Essay Prep

  • Professional Networking

  • Financial Literacy

  • 1 on 1 Mentoring with College/Career Prep Professionals

  • Personal Development Plans

  • Meaningful Goal Development

Hamilton Scholars will be able to refine their college application, engage in workshops to transition into college life, and establish meaningful connections that will aid in their personal and professional lives.

Scholars will engage in workshops aimed at providing the resources to create meaningful goals within their journey through higher education. These goals are then set in motion through the development of a Personal Development Plan, where students are then tasked with bringing these goals to fruition. These are components of the Alexander Hamilton Scholars’ Empowerment Toolkit that aids our Hammies through and beyond the Leader Weeks.

Each leader week is centered around a general theme as follows:

  • Year 1 Leader Week: College Readiness | High School Senior

  • Year 2 Leader Week: College Transition | College Freshman

  • Year 3 Leader Week: Internship & Career Readiness | College Sophomore

Destination sites for each leader week is subject to change, with students being given the opportunity to engage with the local community.

Is the Alexander Hamilton Leader week truly Free? What do I have to pay for out of pocket?

Yes, every Alexander Hamilton Leader Week is completely free of cost, with the program covering airfare, housing, food, and program planned excursions. Hamilton Scholars may bring spending money of their own to purchase souvenirs.

All Alexander Hamilton Scholars Leader Weeks are chaperoned by staff, with strict safety protocols in place. For more questions, please contact program@hamiltonscholars.org.
