Both the University of Connecticut and our featured xCITE Conference celebrate leaders in innovation, entrepreneurship and technology. However, we recognize that it is important to empower future generations of entrepreneurs. Since its inception and through the generosity of our conference sponsors, we have been able to provide encouragement to student leaders in entrepreneurship through scholarships.
Scholarships are awarded to both undergraduate and graduate applicants who excel in their academic record, work record, and essay. The essay helps us understand the student's experience and views on entrepreneurship and innovation.
Scholarship recipients for 2019 will be acknowledged at the conference.
