We received the following  notes from Randall and Vanessa describing their experiences:

"This is Vanessa Sanders from Estrella Mountain Community College.  First and foremost, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend LeaderShape.  I spent five nights and six days on ASU West Campus and participated in various team building activities.  LeaderShape is intense because you are given a lot of information in a short time frame;  it's a challenge to process all of the information.  Overall, it was a positive experience, it gave me a new way of looking at myself and how I can impact others.  I recommend that the Dougherty Foundation keep sending students to LeaderShape because it's a good opportunity for students to meet new people and evaluate themselves as a person".    - Vanessa Sanders

 "Thank you for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime.  I found the LeaderShape program to be a challenge that I would recommend everyone experience at least once.  During the time I was in the program, I found out how to find a vision for myself and how to build stretch goals that will accomplish small portions of that vision.  Besides finding our vision and stretch goals it also taught us about ourselves.  The program taught me what was holding me back from becoming a better leader and how to resolve those problems. This week was a hard week, but a fun one. 

It is a program that teaches leadership in a way that

I have not seen before".                   - Randall Fields

The Dougherty Foundation would like to thank SCF Arizona for providing the funding for these LeaderShape scholarships.

I'd also like to thank Diana Martinez and Genesis Toole at Phoenix College for their roll in processing these scholarships for us.                                                     - Linda Czarnecki

Q:  I have transferred to a different school.  Do I have to reapply at my new school?

A:  Yes, you must reapply at the new school and provide a copy of your transcripts.  If you're now at a university, our program is half loan (mandatory) and half scholarship for full time students.  Loan paperwork is required.
