The Award The
Aggie 100 Entrepreneurial Scholars Fund is meant to support junior
faculty and/or doctoral students studying topics related to
entrepreneurship. We take a broad view of entrepreneurship. This
would, of course, include the traditional business start-up, venture
capital and IPO related topics. However we are also open to research
on topics such as creativity, path-breaking innovation, technology
transfer and organizational transformation.
