Have you read "The Illusions of Entrepreneurship" by Scott A. Shane yet? I'm an Entrepreneur by difinition but Shane has some hard data that "E" is not all thats' it cracked up to be. Much of what we know for sure about "E" is urban myth! A must read... Wait a minute;wait a minute! Have you read "The Illusions of Entrepreneurship" by Scott A. Shane yet?

Scholarships to athletes are given to high school students that have proven themselves in high school. Whle a good thought not sure how workable. Possibly for individuals that wish to go to grad school a scholarship could be given. So you would give scholarships to any individual that enters an entrepreneurship progam at any university?

I am the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship. After having done sports for many years of my life, I understand the tremendous analogies between athletes and entrepreneurial athletes. There are many things we are doing right now (see, http://www.engin.umich.edu/mpowered/). But, I would like to figure out how to give this idea legs. Keep me in the loop.

You will really be pushing the culture uphill, but it is worth every bit of energy. The Generation E Institute is preparing the minds of youth K-12 to be the recipients of those scholarships and fuel the fires that will turn Michigan and the country into E-America--a nation of entrepreneurs.
