Why Does Drexel Give Away $19,000 Every Six Months?

Dragon's Egg Season 1 Episode 2

$19,000. Each. That’s how much money these Drexel entrepreneurs received thanks to the Close School’s Entrepreneurship Co-op. Open to all undergrad students at Drexel, the Close School’s Entrepreneurship’s Co-op provides scholarships of $19,000. That’s money that student entrepreneurs can use for their own companies. Join us in a conversation with three generations of ENTP Co-ops
