ITC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIPS

Planning for the future and motivating a team to join you along the way, are the hallmarks of a successful leader. The Instructional Technology Council Leadership Academy Incorporates hands-on and scenario-based experiences under the guidance of nationally-recognized eLearning champions.

Participants will return to campus with an individual learning and leadership plan.
