What is YEEP?
YEEP stands for Young Entrepreneurs Excellence Program and is a 12-month, non-material scholarship program that accompanies 16 to 20-year-old pupils from Baden-Württemberg who are interested in founding a company and have previous experience, both during and after school.
The scholarship is divided into 4 modules:
- 1on1 Mentoring - Pursue your goals - accompanied by experienced experts* who are individually tailored to you and your interests.
- Practical visits to companies & start-ups - Visit the global players in our region on exciting excursions and get to know the technologies of today and tomorrow at first hand.
- Practical challenges with real partners - work in a team on practical projects from innovative companies and start-ups.
- Peer learning - learn more about start-up-related topics through exchange and workshops.
The aim is to give young talents practical insights into the world of entrepreneurship at an early stage, provide them with highly relevant specialist knowledge, enable them to build their strong professional network and support them on their individual entrepreneurial path.
All information can be found on the YEEP website.
Application deadline: June 01, 2025
The program is jointly designed and supported by the Karl Schlecht Foundation and the Vector Foundation.
