Helping entrepreneurs navigate the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Emerging Innovation Scholars (BIG Ideas), launched by The University of Alabama Honors College in collaboration with Innovate Alabama, is, by design, an entry-level program that encourages students who have limited or no competition experience to develop their ideas, transform their thinking and address societal problems through creativity and ingenuity. Advising, mentoring, workshops, and assistance are integral parts of the program, along with funding and recognition.
