Bringing Entrepreneurs and Students Together
Gardner-Webb University’s Godbold College of Business is committed to encouraging, educating, and engaging students in entrepreneurial skills before they have even thought about college applications.
The annual “Bringing Entrepreneurs and Students Together” (B.E.S.T.) Program offers high school students in Cleveland County a chance to experience entrepreneurialism in action, right on our campus. For rising 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders, this immersive program includes activities like:
Each day, students will arrive at the university by 9 a.m. where our Leadership Team will greet them with a light breakfast. Students will then complete a series of activities through the morning, followed by lunch and more activities in the afternoon.
2021 program dates, application deadlines, and acceptance letter mailing dates will be announced soon!
Transportation is available from two locations: Shelby High School and Kings Mountain High School. Please make note on your application if you require transportation. Drop off/pick up times will be dependent on student need.
Please make sure you complete the medical release form. Bring the original with you on the first day and also send a scanned copy to [email protected] or via fax to (704) 406-2261. Students will not be allowed to participate if this medical form is not received.
