*Bottom line: Venture for America is a strong training program for graduating students who want to get into business creation and also helps revitalize our economy. Todays <span data-scaytid="5" data-scayt_word="VFA">VFA</span> partnerships are over 50% non-technical, so it does not limit any candidates from applying (in some ways, the fellowship seeks to open doors particularly for these students). Therefore, Venture for America's resources would be best used on a campus looking to: (''a) ''give benevolent entrepreneurial students a new outlet for post-graduation plans''''', ('''b'')''' '''create a role-model/success story, ''(c)'' build support for this lifestyle as a career path.
*By advertising Venture for America as a prestigious scholarship/fellows program, a campus ambassador could build a long-term vision in students from varying degree paths and eventually place high achieving students in the program.
