The Dr. Ted Martinez Jr. NCCHC Leadership Fellows Program

About the program

The National Community College Hispanic Council’s (NCCHC) mission includes preparation and support of Hispanic leaders in America’s community colleges, to the ultimate benefit of our students. The Dr. Ted Martinez Jr. NCCHC Leadership Fellows Program was designed to support these efforts.

 

Nurturing the pathway to leadership

To address the under-representation of Hispanic leaders in American community colleges, the National Community College Hispanic Council (NCCHC) is offering the Leadership Fellows Program to develop a pool of highly qualified Hispanics, and to assist them in attaining high-level positions in community colleges.

Close to 300 Fellows representing 24 states have completed the program and came from vice-president, dean, and director administrative levels and from a cross-section of community colleges across the country.  

 

Thank you for your interest.

The 2023 class application is now closed.
