Leadership Scholarship

The Leadership Scholarship exists to identify high-potential young leaders early and equip them with education, guidance, and integrity to serve their nations with lasting impact.

Leadership Scholarship

At Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP), the Leadership Scholarship is dedicated to discovering, nurturing, and empowering young individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership potential from an early age.

Across many nations — particularly in developing regions — millions of talented youth possess the vision, intelligence, and character to become transformational leaders, yet remain unseen and unsupported due to limited access to opportunity and education.

SISP was founded on a powerful principle:

We serve people to empower them toward success — so they may, in turn, serve and strengthen their own nations.

We believe that within every country lies an extraordinary wealth of leadership talent waiting to be discovered.

Discovering Hidden Potential

In nations of tens or even hundreds of millions of people, countless capable young minds remain overlooked. SISP actively seeks students who demonstrate:

• Natural leadership qualities
• Strong moral character and responsibility
• Initiative and community involvement
• Academic dedication
• A desire to create positive change

Our mission is not only to find these future leaders — but to elevate them.

Educating Leaders for National Service

The purpose of the Leadership Scholarship extends far beyond individual success.

SISP believes that when young leaders are properly educated, supported, and guided, they become the foundation of:

• Economic development
• Social progress
• Innovation and entrepreneurship
• Ethical leadership
• Community empowerment

Scholars are encouraged to apply their education in service of their own people — strengthening institutions, uplifting communities, and contributing to sustainable national growth.

A Vision Rooted in Service

The foundation of SISP was born in the Hawaiian Islands — often referred to as Paradise — where the Founder reflected on how small personal sacrifices in comfort, time, and daily life could create life-changing opportunities for students in need.

From this reflection emerged a lifelong mission:

To serve people through education — and to raise leaders who serve their nations.

This philosophy continues to guide the Leadership Scholarship today.

More Than Financial Support

Leadership Scholars at SISP receive more than funding. They gain:

• Educational assistance and resources
• Leadership development guidance and mentorship
• Encouragement toward ethical service and responsibility
• Performance accountability and continuous growth

We prepare scholars not only to succeed academically, but to lead with integrity, compassion, and vision.

Shaping the Future of Nations

SISP envisions a future where every country benefits from its brightest minds — individuals who rise from humble beginnings to become leaders, innovators, and servants of their people.

Through the Leadership Scholarship, we are building a generation of empowered leaders equipped to address challenges, inspire progress, and guide their nations toward prosperity.
