Support access. Expand opportunity.

The Association for Collaborative Leadership (ACL) invites contributions to the Claire Ramsbottom Scholarship and Equity Challenge Fund, which helps ensure that more leaders can access ACL’s professional development programs.

Through this fund, scholarships are provided to staff from emerging, racially diverse, and lesser-resourced consortia—expanding participation and strengthening the field of higher education collaboration as a whole.

Gifts to the Ramsbottom Fund directly support:

  • Scholarships for the ACL Summer Institute
  • Access to other ACL professional development opportunities
  • Broader participation across the ACL community

Your support helps ensure that financial barriers don’t limit who can learn, lead, and contribute.
