Young Entrepreneur Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $2,500

Awards Available: 1

Award Deadline: Register to View


According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as reported by Investopedia, a fifth of all new businesses fall apart within two years. There are many reasons this is true, but a lot of it has to do with the undue stress we put on young entrepreneurs. It’s costly to get an education, create new ideas, and learn how to put those ideas into practice.

For us, giving back to the community is not just a good thing to do: it’s crucial for the development of our society and the marketplace in general. We want to provide a driven entrepreneur with the funds they need to get the education to enable their dreams. Below, check out the requirements for the scholarship and get started on your entry.

How to Apply

Please write a pitch of the business you started or are developing, including information such as your mission, vision, values, and business plan. Please tell us what you do, how you market yourself, and how your business is doing its successes and struggles. The most compelling pitch will win the scholarship, so give us your best “Shark Tank” proposal!

Send in your application by December 30, 2025, to be considered.
