For students who have taken the big step of creating their own business while in high school, The NFIB Young Entrepreneur Awards program was established to raise awareness among the nation's youth of the critical role that private enterprise and entrepreneurship play in the building of America.

The contest for this year begins October 1, and ends on December 15. The NFIB has awarded over 2000 scholarships, totaling over 2 million dollars. So students with a drive for enterprise need to apply to get their share of the scholarship dollars.
