Franchise Law Entrepreneur Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Franchise.Law
No matter a person’s age or experience level, anyone can become an entrepreneur. However, we believe one of the most essential measures of a successful entrepreneur is how much passion and enthusiasm they have behind an idea. Typically, the best businesses grow and thrive from the deep-seated passion behind a single idea.
The attorneys at Franchise.Law values supporting entrepreneurs because they ARE entrepreneurs. Attorneys Jason Power and Jonathan Barber understand the hard work and dedication it takes to own a business and stay on top of the latest industry trends.
Franchise.Law is proud to bring back the Entrepreneur Scholarship for another year! This scholarship is designed to support aspiring and future entrepreneurs and allows students to explore why they are passionate about becoming an entrepreneur.
