Every winter term students do tremendously creative projects. The Entrepreneurship Scholars Program affords students the opportunity to pursue those projects with the addition of a seminar week designed to support them in challenging, stretching, and realizing their ideas.
We support students who have a wide variety of goals ranging from starting grassroots organizations, offering a new product or service, launching a tour, commercializing a discovery, and beyond. We look for students who have the passion and drive to make something happen, and can benefit from having the time, skills, and contacts to explore their idea during winter term.

Scholars spend the week in New York City learning key entrepreneurial skills to support their ideas. This seminar week features 12-15 speakers from a variety of fields, an individual shadow day with a professional relevant to each scholar, group discussion, and an alumni networking reception. Most costs are covered, but scholarships are also available.
Scholars work on their own projects independently in the location of their choice. This time might include (but is not limited to) research, implementing a project, or an extended shadow experience. Scholars will also consult with a mentor of their choosing during this time. No costs are covered during this period, but support is available through the Creativity Fund, CIGSIE, and other sources.
Scholars return to Oberlin to learn about the support systems for entrepreneurship in Northeast Ohio. This day will also feature an alumni networking reception.
Scholars deliver their final presentations.
Entrepreneurs and other professionals interested in participating as speakers, mentors, or shadow hosts are asked to contact us at creativity@oberlin.edu or 440-775-5383. |
