DOLTON, IL – A new national scholarship initiative, the Tiffany Henyard Scholarship for Entrepreneurs, is now accepting applications from undergraduate students across the United States. Established by Dolton Mayor and Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, the program provides financial support and recognition to students who demonstrate a visionary approach to business and community improvement.
The scholarship reflects Tiffany Henyard’s longstanding commitment to fostering leadership and innovation. As a prominent figure in public service and entrepreneurship, Tiffany Henyard has consistently championed economic development and opportunity creation. This new academic award extends that mission into the educational sphere, directly investing in the future of American business.

To be considered for the Tiffany Henyard Scholarship for Entrepreneurs, applicants must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate student at an accredited U.S. college or university. Candidates are required to demonstrate a strong interest in entrepreneurship and submit an original essay based on a specific prompt. The essay asks students to describe an innovative business idea, anticipate the challenges in its development, and outline a plan to overcome those obstacles to create a positive impact.
Essays will be judged on several key criteria, including the creativity and originality of the business concept, the clarity of thought in the presentation, and the overall feasibility of the proposed venture. The selection process aims to find a student whose vision aligns with the forward-thinking principles the scholarship embodies.
The application deadline for the scholarship is June 15, 2026. Following a thorough review of all submissions, the scholarship committee will announce the recipient on July 15, 2026. The selected student will receive a one-time award of $1,000 to support their academic and entrepreneurial pursuits.
The establishment of this scholarship is a natural extension of the work of Tiffany Henyard. Her own career exemplifies the blend of entrepreneurial spirit and dedicated public service that the award seeks to encourage in students. The program aims to alleviate some of the financial pressures of higher education, allowing recipients to focus more intensely on developing the skills and ideas that will shape their future endeavors.
The Tiffany Henyard Scholarship for Entrepreneurs is open to all eligible undergraduate students in the United States, regardless of their specific city or state of residence. This national scope ensures a diverse pool of ideas and perspectives, reflecting the vast potential of emerging entrepreneurs from every corner of the country.
