Become an Edson E+I Fellow

What is the Edson E+I Fellows program?

The Edson E+I Fellows program is led by the J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute and  is a yearlong experience for first-year Sun Devils who want to explore the possibilities of entrepreneurship and be part of a community of other first year ASU students. As an Edson E+I fellow, you will have opportunities to build your network, develop skills and advance your Arizona State University experience while exploring entrepreneurial ideas and connecting with others.

This is a competitive opportunity for incoming first-year students who want to be part of a collective Edson E+I Fellows experience. As an Edson E+I fellow, you will connect to resources and students who are curious about entrepreneurship and innovation. Students in this program  dedicate time outside of class to go to events, connect with other Edson E+I Fellows and take advantage of ASU-specific entrepreneurship resources.

The Edson E+I Fellows program is not a scholarship opportunity, nor is it tied to your major or any specific academic unit. Instead, it is a student community that provides access to resources, guidance, and learning experiences related to your own entrepreneurial interests, which includes the opportunity to apply for funding to further develop your ideas. It is an opportunity  to learn how to start and develop your ideas and build a network of other entrepreneurial and innovative students all while in your first year at ASU! 

The Edson E+I Fellows program is open to students of all majors and academic interests.
