This is an amazing opportunity for college bound High School students (out-of-home school or home school) who have started their own business. Please read the qualifications carefully before submitting your application. If you’ve started a “real business” and run it for over a year, even if it’s in the non-profit sector, you’ll want to check this out.
From the McKelvey Foundation:
Andy McKelvey knows what it is to dream big - to have the vision, creativity and drive to convert a new idea into a thriving business. He also knows what it takes to make those dreams a reality.
That’s why the McKelvey Foundation is honored to award $40,000 scholarships to young entrepreneurs nationwide who have started their own businesses.
Each scholar will be awarded up to $10,000 per year to attend any four-year college within the United States. The winners, in return, will be asked to meet scholarship criteria (below) during that four-year period. Winners of the Entrepreneurial Scholarships will enjoy being part of a larger entrepreneurial networking community and will be given the opportunity to meet with other scholars during our summer e-Venture program.
Applications are due by January 15, 2008.
