Entrepreneurship

This guide provides an overview of resources available to those in the AU community who are launching a business, whether for an assignment or your side hustle. 

This guide was inspired by guides from ALA BRASS, Princeton, Cornell, Michigan State, I am grateful for their work in creating such detailed compilations of resources for entrepreneurship. 

American University is pleased to offer two scholarships for students pursuing Entrepreneurship as a major/specialization or minor: 

• The Frank S. Taylor Entrepreneurship Scholarship supports undergraduate students pursuing a degree related to entrepreneurship (major/specialization or minor) and/or who have demonstrated an entrepreneurial mindset through their past activities. From the pool of eligible applicants, preference will be given to incoming first-year students.
• The Stevan Holmberg Entrepreneurship and AI Technology Endowed Student Scholarship, founded in 2024, supports the next generation of innovators at the crossroads of entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence. It aims to recognize and support students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievements and a strong passion for integrating AI technology into their entrepreneurial ventures.
