Mclean Entrepreneurial

The purpose of the McLean Entrepreneurial Leadership Program is to foster dialogue about how Mississippi can utilize resources through the University of Mississippi to address some of the state’s most pressing needs. Outcomes of the program are designed to help stimulate business in local communities, improve educational systems, and strengthen the conversation between the university and community members. The goal of the program will be to introduce an initial cohort of students from around the state to the entrepreneurial spirit of community development. To do this, the group of students will interact with community leaders throughout Oxford and Lafayette County, while also being exposed to readings and lectures from professors, community leaders, and students. The goal in this first year is to stimulate an entrepreneurial interest that can be utilized to solve community and state problems through community engagement. Eligible students must have at least a 3.0 GPA. This program is open to Mississippi residents ONLY. The cost to attend is $550 for residential students and $350 for commuter students. Needs-based financial aid is available.
