“There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?” - Erin Hanson.
Meraki Data Solutions Corp will be awarding one deserving Florida entrepreneur “out of the box thinker” $1,000 to pursue their business idea. The recipient must have proven that they are driven to achieve extraordinary results, regardless of their school grades, test scores or economic background. Our selection process is based on the first 100 applications. Scholarship recipient (1) will receive $1000 towards their business idea.
The scholarship will be local to Florida as we may want to meet the young entrepreneur with their parents.
Meraki Data Solutions Corp created the Young Entrepreneur Florida Scholarship with the aim of providing support for young entrepreneurs in need of funding for either their education or furthering their business.
