President Eric Baird of the Gail Baird Foundation and the University of South Florida has announced a new scholarship to benefit female entrepreneurs. The Gail Baird Entrepreneur Scholarship will allow female graduate and undergraduate students majoring or minoring in entrepreneurship at the University of South Florida to apply for up to $25,000 in scholarship money for the 2017–2018 school year. The scholarship will be managed through the University of South Florida Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 not-for-profit direct support organization of the University of South Florida System, and the University of South Florida Board of Trustees. The University will select recipients per specific criteria—applicants must be a full or part-time student at any University of South Florida campus and be in their junior, senior or graduate years of academia. A student may be awarded the grant for up to two semesters.
