About LEDA

Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America – LEDA – is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students from first-generation and low income backgrounds pursuing their academic and leadership goals through comprehensive college access programming, mentorship, and career readiness resources.

Each year, we recruit a new cohort of LEDA Scholars – 100 qualified high school juniors who show leadership potential but lack the exposure and support they need to attend highly selective colleges. LEDA Scholars receive leadership training, writing instruction, standardized test preparation and a year of highly personalized guidance as they navigate the application and admissions process at the most competitive colleges. Throughout college and beyond, Scholars are offered ongoing advising, career counseling, postgraduate planning and community-building support to help them succeed and lead.
