About

The Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute is a top-10 ranked hub for student entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of Utah and an interdisciplinary division of the David Eccles School of Business. The first programs were offered in 2001, through the vision and support of Pierre Lassonde, an alumnus of the Eccles School and successful mining entrepreneur. The Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute now provides opportunities for thousands of students to learn about entrepreneurship and innovation. Programs include workshops, networking events, business-plan competitions, startup support, innovation programs, graduate and alumni opportunities, scholarships, community outreach and more. All programs are open to students from any academic major or background. Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute also manages Lassonde Studios, a five-story innovation space and housing facility for all students. Learn more at https://lassonde.utah.edu.

The scholarships come with the opportunity to gain leadership skills and experience while managing many activities for aspiring entrepreneurs. Donors are the driving force behind these opportunities to give students the opportunity to learn and enhance their skills as they venture into the entrepreneurial world.
