Startup Scholars

The Startup Scholars Program aims to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs. This program aims to both help HBCU student entrepreneurs grow their business ventures, while also offering support in furthering their pursuit of higher education. The program provides funding to HBCU student entrepreneurs around the country, complemented by an integrated portfolio of support including one-on-one business consulting/coaching, business management workshops, and networking events to broaden access to opportunity and capacity. All scholars are recognized and acknowledged at the Center’s annual conference in June.
