Undergraduate students who will enter their final year at Kansas State University during the 2025-2026 academic year are invited to apply for Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows. Applications are due Wednesday, Feb. 12.
This noncredit leadership development program is offered at NO COST for all selected students. Snyder Fellows will be involved in unique opportunities for personal leadership development as they prepare for life after graduation.
Recommendations are also being accepted. If you know students heading into their last year at K-State, complete the recommendation form and they will be contacted.
In addition to engineering the greatest turnaround in college football history, Coach Bill Snyder has been a champion of developing leaders—both on and off the football field. It is because of this commitment that the Staley School of Leadership, in partnership with K-State Athletics, is thrilled to offer the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program, a leadership development program that continues Coach’s leadership legacy.
The eleventh cohort of Snyder Fellows will participate in a variety of leadership development activities to help prepare for the transition from college and for engagement as lifelong leaders:
- Attend a retreat focused on goal setting and leadership development
- Take part in exclusive personal and professional development events with successful athletes, scholars, and business leaders throughout the year
- Participate in leadership dialogues with Coach Snyder
- Engage in one-on-one leadership coaching sessions with Staley School faculty members, community members, and former Fellows through the critical transition from college to career
- Mentor youth in the Manhattan community with a group of Fellows, through youth sports coaching in partnership with the Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department
- Make a difference on campus and in the community through hands-on service and mentoring activities
- Join the network of Snyder Fellows alumni dedicated to forming long-lasting impact
All applications must be submitted by noon Friday, Feb. 12. For more information on the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows program, visit the website or contact Del’Sha Roberts at delrob15@ksu.edu.
