Hello All,
If you are at the dissertation stage of your work here at Gonzaga University, please do consider applying for this unique scholars award given through the Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership.
I have been honored to serve as a board member for this award through the Greenleaf Center since the award’s inception some time ago. The award is a great opportunity for new and developing scholars.
Our own Dr. Kae Reynolds, who graduated last year, won this award previously for her groundbreaking work on the nature of women’s leadership, featuring a balance of feminine and masculine characteristics in the context of servant-leadership through a feminist lens. Great job Dr. Reynolds!
Respectfully,
Dr. Shann Ferch

The Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership is proud to sponsor the Greenleaf Scholars Program. The purpose of the program is to select and support promising early career scholars and professionals who wish to study the impact of servant leadership in a wide range of organizational or social contexts. The program is administered through The National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good at the University of Michigan.
The goals of the program are (1) to inspire a new generation of critical scholarship based on the concepts of servant leadership that were articulated by Robert K. Greenleaf; (2) to support rigorous empirical studies that offer evidence of the impact of servant leadership on the health and effectiveness of organizations and communities; and (3) to build a nurturing community of academic researchers, practitioners, and students who study and teach servant leadership.
SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
The Greenleaf Center will sponsor up to five awards each year for pre-tenured faculty, early career practitioners, and advanced graduate students who engage in research that explores servant leadership. Greenleaf Scholars will be selected by an international review committee comprised of faculty members from the following public and private universities in the United States and overseas, including:
- University of Michigan
- University of Detroit Mercy
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- VU University Amsterdam
- Gonzaga University
- University of Notre Dame
Each Greenleaf Scholar will receive an award of U.S. $2,500 to support outstanding research. Additionally, award recipients will receive support for the following:
• Conference registration fees waived for attendance at the Greenleaf Center’s Annual International Conferences both while the Scholar is conducting his or her sponsored research and when the Scholar’s research is presented.
• Inclusion of the Scholar’s manuscript in an annual National Forum edited monograph and encouragement to publish the research in peer reviewed journals.
