Save the Date! Bonner’s 2026 Summer Leadership Institute is heading to Rutgers University–New Brunswick! Join us from June 7-10 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to engage with over 300 students, staff and administrators, faculty, community partners, alumni, national nonprofits, and graduate school partners across the Bonner Network.
Common Ground USA has open applications for their student journalism cohort as well as open registration for their Administrator Boot Camp. The Boot Camp is free program designed for Bonner staff and faculty to help higher education leaders navigate campus conflicts effectively. Participants will engage in six online sessions to develop skills in crisis de-escalation, collaborative conversation, and trust-building, with the goal of enhancing campus cohesion and resilience. The Student Journalism Cohort is a paid national fellowship for student journalists to humanize differences and highlight solutions to shared problems.
The Samvid Scholars program is now accepting applications for its 2026 cohort, with a deadline of April 12, 2026. This merit-based graduate scholarship, which supports up to $50,000 per year for two years, aims to empower mission-driven students like Bonner who have demonstrated impactful leadership and are pursuing eligible graduate programs in the United States.
