Smith & Howard Scholarship Seeking Applicants

January 27, 2014

We have several founding sponsors at Atlanta Tech Village, each participating and giving in their own unique ways to support our growing community. When Smith & Howard came to us expressing interest in getting involved, they wanted to create something that had a direct and meaningful impact on Village members. Together we brainstormed the things Villagers can’t live without….coffee, razor scooters, snacks….then our focus turned to ways of removing friction so that the startups here can focus solely on building their businesses. Thus the Smith & Howard Scholarship was born! This 6-month scholarship covers all membership fees for the selected companies, allowing them to devote all of their scarce resources to growing their business, in addition to providing mentorship and connections to the S&H network.The first cohort of scholarship winners, vCruit and Village Defense, experienced highs and lows, and overall it was an enriching experience for both teams.The next cohort is now accepting applications. Candidates needed to exhibit growth potential, demonstrate a willingness to receive advice and guidance from the mentor team, present a clear vision for the future, and be an awesome person/team. Applications will be accepted through February 11, 2014.Apply Here!
