Today's VFA partnerships are over 50% non-technical, so nobody is limited 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/fellowship, a campus ambassador could build a long-term vision in students from varying degree paths and eventually place high achieving students in the program.
