The Aspire Leaders Program 2025 is a leadership development program. It is a program by Harvard Business School professors aimed at transforming the lives of underprivileged youth worldwide and enabling them to impact their communities. Harvard Business School professors established this program at Harvard University in 2017. Applications for the Aspire Leaders Program are currently open.
This program consists of three modules. It is a fully funded leadership program for international students, lasting eight weeks. One of the key benefits of this program is that interested students can apply without requiring an IELTS score. Students who wish to gain international education and leadership experience from home can participate in this fully funded program.
Previously, this international training program was known as the ‘Crossroads Emerging Leaders’ Program. International students can participate in the Aspire Leaders Program entirely free of charge. Students from Bangladesh and various other countries who have grown up facing social and financial adversities are eligible to apply.
Financially disadvantaged and talented students will have the opportunity to participate in this program. Students between the ages of 18 and 29 who are currently pursuing or have completed undergraduate or postgraduate studies are eligible to apply. Additionally, applicants must be the first in their family to attend university. This program offers the opportunity to connect with other Aspire students from around the world. Financial grants will also be provided for the program.
