The Future Entrepreneurs of America Scholarship
“Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.” – Peter Drucker,
management consultant, educator, and author.
We here at TableLegsOnline.com understand the high costs of pursuing higher education. Even
with an early start, saving and budgeting for college can be difficult in this ever-changing
economy. It’s hard to predict costs, so we believe every bit of help matters. So with this in mind,
TableLegsOnline.com is proud to present The Future Entrepreneurs of America Scholarship. We
created this scholarship to award innovative, forward-thinking students with a passion for
business and entrepreneurship. Each year there will be two winners (one in the spring and one
in the fall) that will be awarded $500 for books, living expenses, and other required fees.
Entrepreneurship has different meanings to different people. Some may say it’s about being
your own boss; others think it’s about making loads of money. Although these are valid reasons,
there are greater rewards than just the ones mentioned. We want to hear what you think
entrepreneurship means, and what better way to find out then with an essay!
In 500 to 1,000 words (no more, no less) answer AT LEAST two of these three
questions:
1. In your opinion, what is it that makes someone an entrepreneur?
2. In your opinion, what major characteristics do successful entrepreneurs exhibit, and why
these characteristics?
3. Describe your entrepreneurial experiences and why you would make a great future
entrepreneur or business leader.

THE DREAM.US SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
TheDream.US is a new multimillion dollar National Scholarship Fund for DREAMers, created
by Graham Holdings Company to help immigrant youth who’ve received DACA achieve their
American Dream through the completion of a college education. The fund will provide college
scholarships to highly motivated DREAMers who, without financial aid, cannot afford a college
education that will enable them to participate in the American workforce.
TheDream.US awards scholarships for tuition and fees to DREAMers who have demonstrated
financial need, academic achievement, and a high motivation to succeed, and are accepted to
attend one of our partner colleges. Applicants to the TheDream.US Scholarship Program must
be first-time college students who have graduated from a U.S. based high school or equivalent
with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 (2.5/4.0) or higher. Applicants must also meet
DACA eligibility criteria and must have submitted Form I-821D or received notification of
DACA approval.
Awards are renewable as long as the Scholar continues to meet renewal criteria. Scholarships are
awarded up to $12,500 for students pursuing an associate degree, and up to $25,000 those
seeking a bachelor degree. (The amount of each award will be based on the current tuition, fees,
and estimated cost of books charged by the participating college in which the Scholar enrolls.)
