Who Can Apply:
- There are many talented, entrepreneurial-minded people who have bright ideas that could change the world.
- However, many great ideas never materialize into real businesses or products due to financial limitations. For a founder who may be in between jobs and attempting to chase their dream with limited resources, financial assistance can bridge the gap and make it possible to launch or otherwise advance an idea.
- This scholarship seeks to support aspiring or current entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of launching their business or idea.
- Anyone in the U.S., including students and non-students, may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re planning to launch or are currently launching a business or idea, in any field or industry.
Submission: To apply, tell us about yourself, your business idea, how this scholarship would help you, and how “Start Small, Dream Big” resonates with your journey. Additionally, include links and/or file uploads that show off your project or business. Include a link to your business website if you have one.
