At Viking, we believe in fostering and encouraging the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. This is why we created our Entrepreneur Endorsement Scholarship, which is designed to help offset the costs of education for college students who have shown a demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship.
Viking Mergers & Acquisitions understands the importance of small and local businesses. We are excited to see the new ideas of the future entrepreneurs, but we know starting a business can be financially straining. Tack on the cost of education, and the financial burden grows even further. Viking wants to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and foster small business growth in America. That’s why we’ve created the Entrepreneur Endorsement Scholarship.
Our scholarship supports students in their quest for an education by providing funds for tuition, books, room & board, and other fees directly associated with their education. Any student showing a demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship can apply.
