The PhD program is an important means of providing entrepreneurial research assistance to faculty, and increasing the overall academic output of Ivey. Educating PhD candidates at Ivey is important because it gives us the opportunity to train teachers of the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The IFE is offering a scholarship for PhD students who wish to study entrepreneurship. IFE would like to have a minimum of one PhD student per year (for a total of 4). The fall of 2003 will saw the enrolment of the first Ph.D. student in the area of entrepreneurship funded by the Institute. We are encouraged by our progress in this regard, and excited about the future potential of entrepreneurship research and study at Ivey. Research output from these students will help raise the profile of entrepreneurial research at Ivey, and give the Institute academic credibility in this field. Special thanks to Starcan Corporation for their generous support. The first recipient of the Starcan Doctoral Scholarship is Vanessa Strike.
