Many of America’s current undergraduate entrepreneurial initiatives are rife with diversity training and actively hostile to free speech, freedom of religion, and free market capitalism.
In training the next generation of corporate leaders, Hillsdale has the opportunity to outperform the best entrepreneurial initiatives in the United States. Hillsdale College’s graduates are among the brightest in the country. The Kehoe Family Initiative for Entrepreneurial Excellence matches these young entrepreneurs with the training, support, and practical experience essential for post-graduate success.
To join us, please consider supporting or sponsoring our new Kehoe Family Initiative for Entrepreneurial Excellence, an initiative dedicated to student success in innovation through a commitment to academic excellence, moral formation, and a free market economy.
The Kehoe Family Initiative for Entrepreneurial Excellence was founded in 2021 to develop the next generation of character-driven entrepreneurs and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to launch a successful business in the 21st century.

Leadership giving and naming opportunities
A generous leadership gift from the Kehoe family has allowed Hillsdale College to launch this important initiative. Additional endowment gifts are needed. Scholarships may be named to recognize the donor or someone the donor wishes to honor. Endowed scholarships and apprenticeships distribute awards at the endowment payout rate set by the Hillsdale College Board of Trustees, currently five percent. Donors will receive biographies of the recipients, and recipients must agree to meet with the donors when appropriate.
Contact the Director of Business and Industry or Hillsdale College Career Services for more information on how you can participate in any giving or naming opportunities.
