Writer: Karen KirkKaren Kirk

The Military Child Education Coalition® (MCEC®) is thrilled to announce scholarship recipients for the Spring 2025 Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program (FHSLP) at the prestigious United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, February 18-22, 2025. This program, established by MCEC in 2006, is designed to enhance the leadership abilities of students and strengthen their Student 2 Student® (S2S™) teams on campus.

Ten exceptional students have been selected to participate in this week-long, intensive experience, where they will engage in leadership activities and lessons alongside cadets and other S2S leaders to include sessions during the National Character and Leadership Symposium. The program aims to equip these students with the necessary tools and knowledge to further develop their local S2S programs.

The FHSLP not only focuses on building leadership skills but also provides a platform for students to share their program challenges and successes with their peers. Distinguished guests will also be present to offer insights on overcoming obstacles and building personal character.

We are excited to introduce the following students who will be attending the FHSLP:- Amira from Ramstein High School (Ramstein, Germany)- Tiffany from Prattville High School (Prattville, AL)- Jesilyn from Lejeune High School (Camp Lejeune, NC)- Libby from Smith Station High School (Smith Station, AL)- Mitchell from Burkburnett High School (Burkburnett, TX)- Mason from Swansboro High School (Swansboro, NC)- Olivia from Fort Campbell High School (Fort Cambell, KY)- Bella from Pieper High School (San Antonio, TX)- Abigail from Bob Jones High School (Madison, AL)- Molly from Widefield High School (Colorado Springs, CO)

We believe that this program will have a profound impact on these students’ lives and their ability to lead and inspire others. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us spread the word about this incredible opportunity for young leaders.
