The Student Entrepreneurial Fellows Program is a true bootsontheground experience where graduate and PhD students step directly into the world of startup creation, working alongside founders, innovators, and TLA’s seasoned MentorsinResidence (MIRs) to help launch companies built on UArizona inventions. This is not a classroom exercise or a theoretical internship; this is a handson venture development, giving Fellows the chance to evaluate early-stage technologies, discuss concepts that drive design thinking, apply customer discovery methods, develop business and financial models, engage in the daily operations of a startup, shadow the MIRs in mentoring activities, and serve as TLA ambassadors on campus and in the community to promote commercialization activities.

For their impact, Fellows are able to select to be compensated either via an hourly wage or they may be considered for a $10,000 Graduate Tuition Scholarship through the U of A Graduate College. 

TLA is seeking to fill four (4) Entrepreneurial Fellow positions, so if you’re driven, curious, and ready to make a real impact, apply below to ignite your entrepreneurial journey.
