The application is available online through TCU Engage, our student involvement portal. Application are open from July 1 to August 31. After submitting your application, FLOs will later communicate to candidates who are selected for an interview.

FLO members engage in leadership development activities, service projects, social events, and other initiatives unique to each program.
By joining a FLO, you’ll gain leadership experience, make meaningful connections, and develop skills that will benefit you throughout college and beyond.

Yes! Many students balance FLO involvement with other organizations. However, we encourage you to consider your time commitments before applying.
The application process for First-Year Leadership Opportunities is competitive and as a result it is not a guarantee that you will get a spot. We recommend taking time to thoughtfully answer each question in the application.
The application for FLOs is open from July 1 to August 31 (11:59 PM). Once the application is closed, no more applications will be accepted.
If your circumstances change, we ask that you communicate with your FLO’s advisors or leaders as soon as possible so they can support you and adjust accordingly. We encourage you to consider your time commitments before applying.
