Since 1989, the National Student Leadership Conference has invited a select group of outstanding middle school and high school students to participate in its fast-paced interactive summer sessions. The program offers 34 interactive programs at 12 prestigious locations, with a 10:1 student-staff ratio and students from 110 countries represented. It is structured as a set of career-focused, curriculum-based leadership conferences and includes the chance to experience life on a college campus. Staff members are described as enthusiastic, hard-working individuals who enjoy working with middle school and high school students and who have experience in the academic fields of the programs, leadership development, residential life, and/or office administration. The program welcomes and encourages students from across the nation and around the world to interact and network with other students with similar interests. Families have access to a convenient monthly payment schedule for tuition and a 30-Day Grace Period for cancellation without penalty for enrollments submitted before April 1, 2026.
