One of the main purposes of the Arbing Blog is to encourage normal people to try out and explore out-of-the-box approaches to entrepreneurship.

Therefore I am proud to announce that we have created a scholarship fund for Undergraduate or Postgraduate students with a passion for entrepreneurship.

Every quarter we award three scholarships of $1,000 each. For a total of $12,000 in scholarships a year.

For Inspiration

The Arbing Blog has a lot of articles on businesses you could start and the process of coming up with business ideas.

We withhold the right, at our discretion, to roll out any improvements or changes to the rules and regulations in order to guarantee the fairness of the scheme. The Arbing Entrepreneurship Scholarships come from the same fund as is another name for the Arbing Entrepreneurship Grants.
