For the first time in spring 2003, the L&S Honors Program offered an award intended to foster leadership and community service among students in the Honors Program.  Endowed through the generous gifts of an anonymous donor, the Leadership Trust Awards provide up to two (2) students with support equal to two (2) semesters of resident, full-time tuition (currently totaling over $8,000) plus project funds up to $3,000 as justified in the submitted project budget. The awards and the project funds provided are intended to be used by the recipients to help plan, develop, and implement projects designed to improve the UW-Madison, the university community, and/or the university student body. The award winners must identify a UW-Madison faculty advisor who will serve in an advisory/resource capacity. The award winners must also submit progress reports to the L&S Faculty Honors Committee as required.
