Application Requirements

1. Create and submit an original website for the business you aspire to launch.

Websites should clearly showcase your business concept, should be fun and creative, and should demonstrate your talents and qualifications to launch and/or maintain the business.

Website submissions will be evaluated based on their visual appeal and ability to convey your business concept in a way that is creative, engaging, modern, and thoughtful.

Please keep your website submission to no more than 8 pages total. In addition, please do not incorporate external links as additional pages to consider.

What you will submit is the link to the website you created for the purposes of this scholarship application. You may use whatever program/software works best for you. Squarespace Free Trial is a program students have used in the past. WordPress and Google Sites are other examples of free software to consider.

2. Students must submit a statement of purpose that explains their business concept and provides relevant personal experiences and achievements. Make sure that this statement of purpose is supplementary to your website; the information in the statement should be supported by aspects of your website.

3. Students must submit a biographical paragraph.
