Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.
We're seeking an experienced scholarships and fellowships coach to work with students applying to prestigious awards like Rhodes, Fulbright, Marshall, and similar programs. This role includes guiding students through application strategy, editing essays and personal statements, coordinating letters of recommendation, and helping students frame their research and experience in a compelling way. Coaches also support students with resume review, interview prep, and waitlist strategy, as well as navigating financial aid and scholarships more broadly to fund their education. Ideal candidates have firsthand experience with prestigious scholarship or fellowship applications, prior advising or coaching experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping students present their strongest possible application. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.
