We are now accepting applications for the SOCAP16 Social Entrepreneur Scholarship. If you are an innovator who is using business as a force for positive change in the world, we want you to apply to join us in 2016.
Entrepreneurs are the heart of SOCAP. Dating from our first event in 2008, SOCAP has awarded full scholarships to hundreds of entrepreneurs who are working on the front lines of impact. In 2015, we gave scholarships to over 150 of the world’s most innovative social entrepreneurs, who came to the Fort Mason Center from over 35 countries across the globe.
Njeri Mathu, one of the SOCAP15 Scholarship Entrepreneurs featured in the video, described her experience at the conference in this way:
The privilege of being a SOCAP scholarship entrepreneur cannot be overstated. The opportunity to connect with global social entrepreneurs, who are all taking action and making an impact, is invaluable. It’s hard to imagine how it’s possible to meet so many dynamic individuals, to learn and share so much, to have so many meaningful conversations and ‘aha’ moments, and to continuously feel sparks of joy and inspiration, in merely 5 days. But that’s exactly what the SOCAP experience as a scholarship entrepreneur is all about. Unforgettable and transformational. –Njeri Mathu, Founder of AnaCheza
