Allsup Entrepreneurship Academy is a weeklong summer experience designed for high school students interested in business, innovation, and leadership. Hosted at the SLU Chaifetz School of Business, the 2025 academy took place July 21–25, 2025, running daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the campus of Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.

​

For the 2025 program, scholarships covered the full cost of the program, including all workshops, materials, instruction, and meals during the week. Students selected for that opportunity joined a cohort of peers from across the region to explore what it takes to build a business—from idea to pitch.

​

Throughout the week, participants engaged in hands-on learning, interactive workshops, and team-based challenges. They were mentored by SLU students, faculty, and local entrepreneurs, gaining real-world insight into marketing, budgeting, leadership, and business development. The experience concludes with a live pitch competition, where students present their business ideas to a panel of judges for feedback, recognition, and prizes.

​

Whether you’re full of ideas or just curious about entrepreneurship, this program is a perfect opportunity to gain skills, confidence, and connections to support your future goals.
