Application form for the 2025-26 LEAP Programme cohort
Leadership, Enterprise & Adventure at Pembroke (LEAP) is recruiting its next cohort of 25 students. This opportunity is for current 1st year undergraduates; successful applicants will join the LEAP programme at the start of Michaelmas Term 2025 and participate throughout their 2nd year at Pembroke.
LEAP cohort members will:
- be paired with career mentors (from late summer onwards)
- have priority access to LEAP workshops and events next academic year
- receive bespoke support with applying for internships for summer 2026 - and access to grants to subsidise accommodation / travel costs
- have the opportunity to apply for LEAP adventure grants for summer 2026 (up to £2.5k per student)
Timings:
Mentor matching will start over the summer, and the first mentoring meetings will take place in late summer or early Michaelmas Term (depending on your preference). We are asking students to commit to one mentoring meeting per month for at least 6 months. All other LEAP activities will take place next academic year, mainly in Michaelmas and Lent Terms.
Who is this programme for?
- students who are unsure of their future direction after leaving Pembroke, or who need help plotting a course to their preferred next step
- students who would like support to develop their confidence
- students who face additional constraints in relation to career progression (e.g. financial constraints, disability, gender, race, caring responsibilities, lack of a network etc)
If you would like to apply, please fill in this form (which should take no more than 15 minutes). You can review all the questions before you start by referring to the PDF in the email you've received from leap@pem.cam.ac.uk.
