WWU Entrepreneurship and Innovation Fellows
--Ready to for your donation have some direct and powerful student impact?
Join in supporting one of our newest and most exciting programs, the E&I Fellows!
IMAGINE! The impact we can have by investing in leaders of today and tomorrow. These are creative, enthusiastic and courageous young adults that voluntarily sign up to give back for what they have received. We honor them with fellowships.
- Each quarter, a minimum of 4 and up to 10 fellows join the teaching team to give back of their time and talents. These students provide teaching, coaching and mentoring of their peers based on their experience in the program while engaging in advanced leadership development.
- Students are eligible to apply while still in the minor if they complete our Facilitative Leadership course (funded by YOUR support last year!) and receive a scholarship or stipend to ease the financial pressure they feel as they lean into leadership rather than getting a ho-hum job.
- Scholarships/stipends range from $500 to $1000 per quarter.
- Annual need=$20,000 at a minimum.
Hear what our students are saying about fellows:
"OUR FELLOWS ARE AWESOME!!!! I love it. It's so inspiring to see grads from the program take their wisdom and offer it right back to the community. they are also sooo readily available to support too, which is amazing.” Aida Cardona, Fairhaven
"Fellows offer a great mix of personal student connection feelings and teaching moments. There is a wonderful culture in this program surrounding the fellows. I am very appreciative of them.” Gavin Roberts, College of Science and Engineering
