The Xavier and Tina Williams Summer Youth Business Academy is hosted by the Edinboro University School of Business and will be held at the Edinboro University campus TBD. The camp is tentatively scheduled for some time in late June. Participants will be academy graduates going into 10th, 11th, or 12th grade with an interest in becoming a mentor to future Summer Business Academy participants.

Fellow duties:
- Supervise academy students
- Assist students in the creation and preparation of their business projects

Completion of this form is required to apply for participation in the Academy. Once all fields are complete, please click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the form. Items marked with an asterisk are required. You will be contacted by phone or email the week of Monday, April 19th, 2020. The date for the admission decision is largely dependent on the number of students who apply and are accepted into the academy. The more students who are accepted into the academy, the more mentors we will need. This date ensures that we have received all student applications so we can begin to deliberate on the number of qualified mentors we can accept into the academy.
Upon acceptance, Fellows students will be required to attend instructional meetings that will explain their role in greater detail. Fellows will also help coaches and staff prepare materials for the business academy.
