Andy McKelvey knows what it is to dream big - to have the vision, creativity and drive to convert a new idea into a thriving business. He also knows what it takes to make those dreams a reality.

That's why the McKelvey Foundation is honored to award $40,000 scholarships to young entrepreneurs nationwide who have started their own businesses.

Each scholar will be awarded up to $10,000 per year to attend any four-year college within the United States. The winners, in return, will be asked to meet scholarship criteria (below) during that four-year period. Winners of the Entrepreneurial Scholarships will enjoy being part of a larger entrepreneurial networking community and will be given the opportunity to meet with other scholars during our summer e-Venture program.

Applications Extended! Now due by January 25, 2008.
