The TCU Young Entrepreneurs Days is a 1 1/2-day event on Sunday and Monday in late January or early February. High school finalists, competing for the TCU Texas Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, visit TCU to dialogue with successful entrepreneurs, learn about TCU's award-winning entrepreneurship program and experience college life. Students are interviewed by a panel of judges on Monday. The judges select the six award recipients, who are then recognized at the Awards Banquet that evening.
Approximately 200 business leaders, faculty, and family members attend the Awards Banquet to show support and encouragement for young entrepreneurs.
