The St. Louis Entrepreneurial Fellowship has selected the 2021 fellowship cohort. Beginning in January 2021 these 17 students will embark on an exploration of innovation and entrepreneurship at WashU and in St. Louis.

St. Louis Entrepreneurial Fellows will begin their journey in a spring semester for credit course that will introduce them to the terminology of innovation and entrepreneurship and will help them develop skills required to rigorously assess the risk/reward profile of new venture ideas. The fellowship summer features a 10-week paid summer internship at a St. Louis-area startup. The program concludes with a fall semester capstone project that brings together all the students have learned throughout the year in a definite project that will impact the WashU or St. Louis entrepreneurial community.

“After reviewing a record number of applicants were have selected our most competitive cohort yet,” Jessica Weldon, Skandalaris Center Assistant Director of Programs. “The perspective that having students from all four undergraduate schools brings to the program is invaluable. We look forward to introducing these students to the interdisciplinary approaches of entrepreneurship and innovation.”
