By  //  March 13, 2026

San Francisco, CA — Roger Gallagher, a fourth-generation wealth management professional with 15 years of experience advising families and businesses, announces the launch of the Roger Gallagher Scholarship for Entrepreneurs, a new initiative designed to support undergraduate students who demonstrate entrepreneurial thinking grounded in integrity, resilience, and long-term value creation. The scholarship is now accepting applications from students enrolled at accredited colleges and universities across the United States.

The Roger Gallagher Scholarship for Entrepreneurs offers a one-time award of $1,000 to one deserving undergraduate student. The program is open to all majors, provided that applicants are pursuing career paths in entrepreneurship, innovation, or business building. Eligible candidates must be currently enrolled in good academic standing at an accredited U.S. institution and able to provide proof of enrollment upon request.

Purpose and Vision

The scholarship reflects Roger Gallagher’s professional philosophy that sustainable success in business requires more than technical skill or rapid growth. Throughout his career—from nearly 14 years at Morgan Stanley to over a decade leading strategy for an Exempt Single Family Office—Roger Gallagher has observed that businesses which endure are built on relationships, disciplined execution, and a willingness to learn from failure. The Roger Gallagher Scholarship for Entrepreneurs seeks to identify and support students who share this perspective.

“Roger Gallagher created this scholarship to invest in the next generation of builders who understand that entrepreneurship is not about hype or shortcuts,” the program materials state. “It is about creating value that lasts.”

Application Requirements

Applicants for the Roger Gallagher Scholarship for Entrepreneurs must submit a 750–1,000 word essay responding to the following prompt:

“Entrepreneurship is often romanticized as disruption, innovation, and rapid growth. But sustainable businesses are rarely built on hype—they’re built on relationships, disciplined execution, and long-term thinking. Reflect on a business, founder, or entrepreneurial principle that embodies this philosophy. What lessons have you drawn from it, and how will those lessons inform the way you approach building value in your own career or ventures?”

Submissions will be evaluated based on originality and depth of insight, clarity and quality of writing, demonstration of entrepreneurial mindset and critical thinking, and reflection on long-term value creation, relationships, and integrity.

Important Dates

The deadline to apply for the Roger Gallagher Scholarship for Entrepreneurs is November 15, 2026. The scholarship winner will be announced on December 15, 2026.
