Scholarships & Awards for Students

Marty Erbaugh Student Entrepreneur Scholarship

Congratulations to our Spring 2024 recipients!

• Naveah Harvey - Fashion Design
• Micah Beck - Digital Media Production
• Shima Asadi - Translation Studies, Ph.D.
• Steven Ridgeway - Fashion Design

This student scholarship will recognize outstanding, motivated graduate or undergraduate Kent State students who are regular clients of LaunchNET. This scholarship is for student entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs that show passion and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship but also the foresight to utilize mentoring and resources to support their entrepreneurial journeys. Students do not need to specifically have a launched venture.

LaunchNET Kent State’s 2019 Giving Tuesday campaign successfully funded the new Marty Erbaugh Student Entrepreneur Scholarship. In honor of Marty Erbaugh, our friend and one of LaunchNET's first advisory board members, we are excited to create a scholarship in his name. Marty was a trusted mentor and friend to LaunchNET staff and clients. Marty was also LaunchNET's mentor of the year for 2017-2018.

Thank you to our generous supporters that made these awards possible!
