KLI Student Support Policy

The Kravis Leadership Institute (KLI) provides monetary support to select CMC student leadership education and development programs throughout the academic year.  KLI considers requests on a case-by-case basis where the KLI budget allows.  General guidance for making requests is as follows: 

• Requests must be received at least 2 months prior to travel and event participation.

• Student support for travel and/or registration costs is generally limited to $750 per student.

• Participation must occur while a full-time CMC student.

• Support for partisan political events is generally not possible.

• Requests should including the following information:

  • Name and contact information for each student requesting support

  • Travel/participation dates

  • Event information (host, location, web reference if available…)

  • Leadership relevance (why should KLI be interested?)

  • Budget outline (estimated expenses and other support requested/received)

• Students agree that within one week of event completion they will provide a 1-2 page paper or article that describes the event and highlights the leadership education/development experience.  The article, if relevant, may be used in the KLI newsletter, Illumine.

• Priority may be given to students actively participating in the Leadership Sequence.  The decisions of the KLI Director and Associate Director are final.

• Requests should be submitted in writing to:
