Subject: Reminder: 2015 Legatum Fellowship Deadline
Date: January 6, 2015 at 3:04:53 PM EST

-----
The Legatum Center seeks entrepreneurs who aspire to have a lasting and positive economic impact on low-income countries by developing their own entrepreneurial ideas and building their own local enterprises. The Center’s approach is intensely practical. Recognizing that even the best innovations can be rendered useless if not distributed effectively, we work closely with our Fellows to design sustainable business models.
The Fellowship is open to all incoming and current MIT graduate students, and students currently enrolled as sophomores and juniors at MIT. The program includes:

  *   A scholarship award
  *   Building knowledge and skills for successful entrepreneurship in developing economies
  *   Domain experts and mentors to provide general guidance, encouragement, or specialized advice on an as-needed basis
  *   Special case studies and other curriculum highlighting aspiring and successful entrepreneurs in low-income countries
  *   Exposure to an extensive entrepreneurial ecosystem of investors, entrepreneurs, potential partners, and new technologies related to development and entrepreneurship

The application deadline is January 22, 2015. For more information on the Legatum Fellowship and how to apply, please visit the Legatum Fellowship<http://legatum.mit.edu/our-programs/fellowships> website.
