The TCU Texas Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Program is a scholarship program that recognizes young high school age entrepreneurs for their success in business. The award is open to any Texas high school student who has started and managed a business. To be eligible you must be currently enrolled in high school.

What can you win?

Scholarships totaling up to $20,000 may be awarded. The top winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship and five other winners will receive a $1,000 scholarship to apply to any school they choose. If the student attends TCU, the scholarships will double.

Can I apply more than once?

Yes, a student may apply every year, while in high school. All of the winnings are eligible to be doubled if the student attends TCU.

What is the application process?

An application is submitted by the student entrepreneur. The application may be completed online or downloaded and sent in hard copy form to TCU. Submissions must be postmarked, or if done electronically, received, no later than November 1. Finalists will be notified by December. Finalists must attend TCU Young Entrepreneurs Days and individually participate in an interview with the judges to be considered for a scholarship award.
