Illinois Public Service Institute (IPSI) is a three-year training program that provides instruction expressly designed for public service professionals. The IPSI course includes three one-week sessions focusing on leadership development, service excellence, and personal supervisory skills. These three sessions taken are one week, each year, over the course of three years. It is a great opportunity to add to your ability to lead and work within a team environment.

You can apply for the scholarship for either week). The scholarship will be $500. More information on the institute can be found at www.ilpsi.org.
