Application Process

If you are interested in applying for the Washington State Leadership Academy (WELA), we suggest you begin by talking with the top administrators and human resource director/VP at your college. Ask these people about their perception of your readiness and ability to garner institutional support. If the answers are encouraging, talk with your president.

You may also wish to talk with some of WELA's current or past participants, who are listed under "WELA participants".

Academy candidates will need to submit the following items, described more fully on their respective web pages (see links below):

• a letter of application that responds to a series of questions
• a letter of commitment and support from your president
• a letter of recommendation from another administrator addressing your skills and readiness, as outlined below
• a current resume
• a short biographical sketch and .jpg picture of yourself
