“The FRED Scholars(sm) program is key to our mission to elevate leadership,” said Jim Bolt, CEO of FRED Inc. “We are honored to have these highly esteemed universities participate in this unique program. It’s a testament to them and to how important ongoing learning and development is for leaders, especially those at nonprofits and NGOs who often can’t afford to attend such programs,” added Bolt.
