Bonner Leaders Program

The Bonner Leaders Program allows students to earn an education award while serving in the community and gaining valuable leadership skills. It is a two-year program that begins either the sophomore or junior year. Because of the unique nature of the program, space is limited to those students selected by a selection committee. Bonner Leaders should be students who are interested in volunteering in the Spartanburg community, want to learn more about themselves and others, and enjoy being part of a team.
