We are now accepting applications for the Fall of 2024 for Cohort 20!

Are you ready to join the next Cohort of Fellows to advance your leadership skills and become purpose-driven catalysts for the food system? If you are, see the instructions below. 

The cost for the two-year program is $24,000. This will cover all instruments taken, books, speaker fees, hotel lodging, and food during the three residential sessions.

An invoice will be sent out before the first Residential Session in the fall. Limited funds are available for need-based institutions to use as travel grants or program fees. If you are interested in a scholarship, please include that request on the nomination form.

FSLI is designed for those currently serving as a department head or chair (or equivalent title) or higher and looking to advance their leadership skills and future career goals.

“FSLI was a life changing experience. I am a different person after being a part of this group. Everyone in a leadership position deserves to be a part of this program.”
-FSLI Fellow
