Student Leadership Academy (SLA) is an instructor nomination based academy that seeks to provide participants with the leadership skills necessary for success in life and the workforce. Students nominated for this honor have completed no less than 12 semester hours, will not graduate within the year, and make a year long commitment to attend 80% of all activities. As a reward for successful graduation, a scholarship for one class at Ivy Tech will be given. This is a regionally based group with students chosen from Lawrenceburg and Batesville as well as Madison.
