Applications no longer are being accepted for the 2025 FEI cohort. Individuals interested in joining future cohorts can add their name to the interest list and apply when the application window reopens in January 2027.
Tuition rates will be provided before the application period. FEI tuition includes instruction, materials and meals during required activities held during the summer and winter intensive sessions. Registration for the International Roofing Expo® is not included and must be completed separately.
Eligible candidates must be at least 25 years old and have a minimum of five years’ experience in a leadership position within an office setting of a roofing contracting company; foreman experience does not satisfy this requirement. Candidates should have responsibility for leading teams and demonstrate efforts to increase their leadership role within a roofing contracting company.
Applicants are required to submit a completed application form (available in January 2027), resume, mentor letter of recommendation and statement of commitment from their mentor indicating support for adjusted work schedules to attend classes and complete weekly coursework. All applications, resumes and mentor letters are reviewed by a committee, which selects members of the cohort.
Please note: This program is designed specifically for developing roofing contractor leaders. Other industry supply chain professionals are not eligible.
