Airaea Impact Scholarship

This scholarship exists for emerging leaders who deeply align with Airaea’s mission, want to be here, and need support to make it happen.

How It Works

  1. Apply to Airaea Leadership Academy
    This is the full application, just like any other student.

  2. Submit your Impact Scholarship application
    We don’t ask for tax docs. We ask about your values, your interest in contributing, and how this would shift your path.

  3. If selected, you'll be placed on a Fellowship Team
    Maybe it’s helping host an event, supporting another student, or shaping part of the experience. We’ll find something that fits your strengths.

  4. Contribute while you grow
    You’ll be supported in your work and gain direct leadership experience through contribution throughout the program.

F.A.Q.

  • Yes. We only offer scholarships to applicants who’ve completed the full application and shown alignment, clarity, and commitment.

  • We are committed to funding at least four Airaea Impact Scholarships in our July 2025 cohort.

  • If selected, you’ll contribute roughly 4 hours per week to a project or support role aligned with your strengths. We’ll make sure it’s meaningful, manageable, and matched to your capacity.

  • Then this scholarship may not be the right fit. We encourage you to apply to the program and explore other options to finance tuition.

  • Your investment is $4,000 (~$900 / month for ~4.5 months).

    We will cover the remaining $9,000 tuition.

  • Sample ways scholars may contribute:

    • Co-host a live leadership event or workshop

    • Help mentor a peer or small cohort

    • Create visual or written content to capture the journey
