LEARN TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR AND GET A $1,000 AWARD

Early Application Deadline for Fall 2008: April 16, 2008

Ever thought about starting your own business or being more of an entrepreneur where you work? We'll give you the chance to learn from working with a real entrepreneur, to earn academic credit and to obtain a $1,000 scholarship for your accomplishments! The Center for Entrepreneurship at Georgia State University offers both undergraduate (MGS 4590) and graduate students (MGS 8590) our Field Study Course in Entrepreneurship in which you will work with entrepreneurs who are starting, expanding, changing or turning around their businesses. You might help founders turn their ideas into a viable business, determine the feasibility of offering a new product or service in an existing firm, construct a web page, improve a cost accounting system, etc. Importantly, you'll have the chance to observe owners, founders, and entrepreneurial managers at close range.

The 3 credit class will meet only twice as you will be expected to work 8 to 10 hours per week for an entrepreneur.

To take advantage, please submit to Dr. Henley: (1) a high-quality current resume, (2) a statement of no more than 2 double-spaced typed paragraphs describing why you are interested in taking the Field Study course and how you believe a business would benefit from having you work with them and (3) fill out the Student Form on the following website: http://robinson,gsu.edu/rec/ (first click on "Field Study", then "Student Form").

Please note the early application deadline as preference will be given to students who apply by this deadline. If enough students apply by this deadline, there will not be another opportunity to apply.

Please contact Dr. Greg Henley at ghenley@gsu.edu to learn more.
