Why it matters

Merit recognition keeps entrepreneurial talent on pace.

Entrepreneurship students balance rigorous coursework, venture experimentation, and leadership duties. A named scholarship signals that Pace values that blend of ambition and discipline, inspiring recipients to keep pushing their ideas forward.

The selection committee—entrepreneurship program director plus two faculty members—identifies students who blend academic excellence, entrepreneurial initiative, and ethical leadership before forwarding recommendations to the Dean of the Lubin School of Business.

The Foundation archive preserves the scholarship as a named education commitment. Any current joint programming, mentoring, application support, or public attribution must be confirmed with the administering Pace program before it is represented as active.
