Kitchen Cabinet Kings is accepting applications for its 2022 Entrepreneur Scholarship. The company will award $5,000 to the winner.

Kitchen Cabinet Kings launched its Entrepreneur Scholarship in 2016 to help a student cover the cost of a college education, which has increased by 169 percent since 1980.

With the scholarship, the company hopes that an aspiring entrepreneur can focus more on developing and pursuing entrepreneurial ideas and worry a little less on how they will afford tuition. 

“The rewards for coming up with an innovative idea or solution can be great, but not every entrepreneur gets to see their vision come to life,” Andrew Saladino, co-founder of Kitchen Cabinet Kings, told TUN. “We created this scholarship program to give young entrepreneurs a break from the rising cost of education while they focus on creating the businesses of tomorrow.”

Saladino speaks from his own personal experience. He was the recipient of a generous scholarship as an undergraduate student, without which he would not have been able to attend his alma mater New York University. 

“The Kitchen Cabinet Kings Entrepreneur Scholarship is one of the many ways that we try to help others and give that same opportunity to entrepreneurs,” said Saladino. “I have no doubts that the winners of the scholarship will succeed in whatever they choose after they finish college.”

2022 Kitchen Cabinet Kings’ Entrepreneur Scholarship Requirements 

The scholarship is open to any current college student or incoming freshman enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at an accredited U.S. college, university or trade school for the 2022 spring, summer or fall semester.

To apply, eligible students must fill out a brief application and submit an essay of no more than 300 words. This year’s essay prompt is: “With the rise in popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in 2021, what are some ways companies can take advantage of this technology? Some topics you may want to include: brand awareness, business logistics, customer experience, or return on investment (ROI).”

“The winners of our scholarship have all been students who had a unique response to the topic,” said Saladino. 

Applications are due by August 31, 2022. 

The company’s management team will select a winner by September 30, 2022, who will be awarded $5,000 in the form of a check made payable to the winner.
