SERVICE BEYOND SELF: EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS
Each year, we welcome another remarkable class of Tillman Scholars.
As the next generation of private and public sector leaders, the Tillman Scholars are tackling challenges across national security, humanities, healthcare, technology, civil rights, education and more. They believe their best years of service and leadership to our country are still ahead of them, and they are committed to strengthening communities at home and around the world.
On behalf of the Tillman Scholars who have been empowered by your commitment and generosity, thank you.
