The Mind Trust, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit, has announced an Education Entrepreneur Fellowship that will provide entrepreneurs with the opportunity to develop and launch initiatives with great potential to transform public education. With two years of full-time pay, essential seed funding, and links to the expertise and community partnerships they need to succeed, fellows are given the freedom and tools necessary to develop their initiatives. The selection process for the Fellowships will be highly competitive. Applicants must submit a Statement of Intent online no later than January 15, but are encouraged to submit one as early as possible.
