What do we look for in a host company?

To help guarantee the quality of experience all Fellows will receive, host companies must be able to offer the following to their Fellow(s):

  • Delegation of challenging assignments that involve interaction with management and strategic thinking
  • Flexibility for Fellow(s) to attend monthly business leader meetings, recruitment events and other functions, recognizing that such engagements are limited
  • The ability to pay the pre-determined Orr Fellow salary for up to two years
  • Full benefits, as offered to all other employees
  • Payment of an annual Orr Fellow administration fee
  • Interaction between the senior executives and the Fellow(s). This could be as often as day-to-day interaction or as little as monthly breakfast meetings.

Students must meet the following criteria in order to obtain a first-round interview:

  • Students from all majors with an interest in entrepreneurship
  • Cumulative GPAs of 3.5 or higher are preferred, although candidates with extraordinary leadership experience and a GPA of 3.2 will also be considered
