Through the generosity of Leadership Missouri alumni, we are offering scholarships for the Leadership Missouri program. The scholarship(s) awarded will total up to $1,000 as determined by the Scholarship Committee. The amount awarded will be applied to the registration fees for the Leadership Missouri program. Scholarships will be awarded based on need. Any scholarship recipient unable to attend the Leadership Missouri program will forfeit the scholarship to an alternate, as selected by the Scholarship Committee. Scholarships may be available for not-for-profit and small businesses. All scholarship recipients are expected to attend all sessions.

The Leadership Missouri tuition fee is $2,500 for Missouri Chamber member organizations and $3,000 for non-member organizations.

The enrollment fee covers scheduled class meals, breaks, group transportation, class materials, other organizational costs and Leadership Missouri Alumni membership. The candidate is responsible for room costs and other out-of-pocket expenses not directly related to Leadership Missouri.

A non-refundable application fee of $30 for members or $50 for non-members must accompany the application.

Do not send full tuition fee with application! Those accepted into the program will be notified.

You are expected to attend every session. However, with special permission from the director, you will be allowed to miss one segment, or 16 hours. If you miss more than 16 hours, you will need to make up the same amount of time during the following year in order to graduate.
