Our summer program brings together top aspiring entreprepreneur high school students to have a community of like-minded innovators and problem solvers. Read on to learn about our admissions process, program cost, financial assistance, and qualities of a great candidate to learn how you can be part of this amazing community.
2021 Application Interest FormGreat applicants do not need to have experience in entrepreneurship, but need to have shown self-initiative, resilience, problem solving capacity, and teamwork skills that show the propensity for great entrepreneurial capacity.

We want to get a sense of who you are, what you’ve accomplished, and what inspires you. Our application is purposefully robust and diverse, giving you many opportunities to shine.
