EF21U+Fellowship

The Graduate School at Michigan State University (MSU) and the Michigan Center for Innovation & Economic Prosperity (MCIEP) at James Madison College, MSU are sponsoring a new opportunity for graduate students-the EF21U Fellowship program (Entrepreneurial Faculty for the 21st Century University). The EF21U program is for __doctoral__ students with an interest in entrepreneurship and innovation.

The primary goals of the EF21U Fellowship Program are to provide opportunities for a diverse group of graduate students to a) consider what entrepreneurship and innovation mean in the context of an academic career; b) examine the variety of institutional arrangements universities use to carry out their entrepreneurial and innovation missions in order to help graduate students evaluate the academic settings in which they may wish to work; and c) connect graduate students to private entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who may be interested in their future work.

Five $5,000 fellowships will support professional development for graduate students in the area of entrepreneurship and innovation. Professors Bryan Ritchie and Ross Emmett are facilitating this program.

For more information and/or an application, please see the attachments.
