Apply For An Un.Incubator Workshop Scholarship

LAH and Un.Incubator are partnering to provide a select group of students with scholarships to participate in Un.Incubator’s January 2018 cohort!

If you are a current student at UT in Liberal Arts Honors Program and you have an impact-focused venture you want to build while in school, the Un.Incubator’s 16-week program is designed for you. We meet weekly for 2 hours, so it fits alongside your studies at school. Here are some of the qualifications we consider when reviewing applications:

  • Developing an impact-focused venture: nonprofit, consulting venture or social enterprise
  • Committed to not only developing your venture but helping others in the cohort do the same
  • Early stage, so you either have no website or presence, or have just recently launched
  • In search of a working business model, open to testing and learning from your experience

If this sounds like you, please apply here. Scholarships are limited. 

APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15TH

LBJ Open Houses for Prospective Students on September 28th and November 9th

If you are interested in public policy (including the intersection between policy and specific topic areas, e.g. food policy/ hunger, education, criminal justice, social justice, environment/ energy, healthcare, immigration, etc.), non-profit management, politics, and global policy studies, check out one of the Open House events hosted by the LBJ School of Public Affairs on September 28th and November 9th.

While students with professional experience are preferred, it is never too early to learn about the admissions process. Many of the applicants to the LBJ School come from liberal arts, area studies, business, communications, engineering, social work and geosciences. Advisors in those areas, are especially encouraged to pass this on to your students.

Attending an Open House is a great way for prospective students to experience what it would be like to be public policy student. They get the opportunity to:

  1. Meet the Dean,
  2. Meet with graduate advisors,
  3. Attend a class,
  4. Have lunch with current students and faculty, and
  5. Hear presentations about degree programs, admissions, fellowships, and career services.
