“As an education-first administration, I am always excited to see what Kentucky's talented high school entrepreneurs come up with each year,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “Many past GSE participants have businesses today that grew from their experiences at this summer program. In just three short weeks, these students make connections and gain confidence that will follow them throughout their lives, and Team Kentucky is proud to support this investment in their future and the future of our commonwealth.”
Since its first year in 2013, GSE Summer Startup has graduated 1,258 high school students from more than 100 counties. Graduates have launched dozens of businesses in Kentucky and even filed patents. Program graduates are also eligible for scholarships at Kentucky colleges and universities.
GSE and the University of Kentucky Gatton College of Business and Economics (UK Gatton) recently announced a three-year partnership that includes UK Gatton hosting the GSE Summer Startup program through 2027. All Kentucky students in grades 9–11 are eligible to apply for the Summer Startup program. GSE does not consider GPA or test scores, and the program is free for all selected students thanks to funding from the state and generous public and private donors. Click here for the full article.
