scholarships
Each year, one $5,000 scholarship and three $1,000 scholarships are awarded to first-
year students with a passion for entrepreneurship who demonstrate financial need.
These scholarships are renewable for three years.
Students applying for a Stump Scholarship submit the following to the dean of business
programs:
·
An essay describing their entrepreneurial characteristics and how two pursuits or
accomplishments demonstrate these skills
·
Two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from a previous employer
The program is for students whose work—both inside and outside the classroom—
demonstrates entrepreneurial spirit. Such successes could include initiating a business
plan or activity, developing a nonprofit or service-learning project, implementing a
program in the fine arts, or undertaking other creative endeavors. Along with applying
to be a Stump Scholar, students may apply for and receive additional scholarships.
“
If Ayn Rand’s words, ‘the ladder of success is best
climbed on the rungs of opportunity,’ ring true,
then this program is a ladder that leads to the
zenith of any career or ambition. All you have to
do is climb.”
