This scholarship has made a meaningful difference in my journey, alleviating financial stress and encouraging me to pursue my passions with even greater determination. Creatives 230 has given me invaluable experience and I’m truly grateful for this space, as it played a key role in helping me earn the scholarship.

Journalism ‘25, Entrepreneurship Minor

I am so grateful for my entrepreneurship scholarship because of all of the opportunities it has afforded me. I have supported myself financially all four years of college, so due to this scholarship, I am able to work a little bit less at my restaurant job and put that time towards my new internship at the New Jersey State House News Service.

The seed funding we won from the New Venture Expo allowed us to conduct more market research and pivot to a new product. It also gave us a strong footing to start building our new product and has been instrumental in our growth.

CEO Club is a truly unique club on campus, full of like-minded individuals thriving to one day start businesses of our own and be our own boss. I’ve learned so much from the meetings and the networking opportunities offered by the club and everyone is beyond supportive of each other's ventures. It’s a group of people I’m truly thankful to have found at Rowan.

Being part of the University Innovation Fellows (UIF) at Rowan has shown me what it means to have a VOICE. It has been a great opportunity to be heard and to hear the voices of others at Rowan. I am always looking for ways to make society a better place and RCIE's UIF has given me the platform to do that. This fellowship has stretched my horizon, in ways I never thought would cross my path.

The Rowan Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship easily became a second home for me after I moved here from Canada. It allowed me to be around individuals who are driven and mentors with real industry knowledge, which in turn has transpired so much growth in my business and me as an entrepreneur. Now my focus is to give back to this space and RCIE, reciprocating its impact on whoever walks in.

Studio 231 is such a creative space where innovation thrives. It’s so amazing to be able to visibly see my ideas come to life. Being an entrepreneurship major, trying to navigate engineering software was near to impossible. Collaborating with students from an engineering background was exactly what I needed to fine-tune my design.

Creatives 230 helped us step-up our website and eCommerce photos, making our brand look more professional. We also learned how to take better product shots ourselves. One of the photos from the Bobica shoot even became part of an ad for a billboard in Times Square that performed really well!

In my freshman entrepreneurship experience class, I was able to find a sense of community and push myself out of my comfort zone, which really helped me build confidence. This class also gave me the chance to explore social entrepreneurship, something I hadn’t really thought about before.

Being a member of Rowan’s Entrepreneurship Program has proven to be an invaluable resource for me. I entered college with no direction, but even through my short time here as a freshman, I have gained substantial support and knowledge that has motivated me to begin applying what I have learned into my own businesses.
