Students: Your future starts here!

The E+I Fellows program, presented by the Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation at Grove City College (E+I), is a unique opportunity for current students to hone their skills, build their resume, and support amazing organizations vetted by E+I. Students who are accepted to participate in the program will work with these organizations to further their mission, while being employed by E+I and paid $25/hour for their work.

At the end of each fellowship placement, students can expect to have stronger résumé and real work experience.  They will gain an appreciation for the problems and issues faced by nonprofits, startups, and small businesses while helping to strengthen the regional economy. E+I Fellows will form connections that may lead to job opportunities after graduation.

How it Works

Fellows gain real work experience and start building a strong résumé

The Spring 2026 E+I Fellows cohort is funded by a grant from an anonymous donor.
