The Finstad Office for Entrepreneurial Studies
This program is dedicated to the advancement of education, research and service in entrepreneurship within the St. Olaf Community by providing Finstad Grants, courses, internships and other activities .
With the shifting economy and rapidly changing markets, entrepreneurial skills are more important than ever before. The Finstad Office works to provide the St. Olaf community with the expertise, experience, and entrepreneurial spirit they need to thrive, whether starting a new business or working within an established organization, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. This program provides an unparalleled learning experience in entrepreneurial practice.
The Finstad Office for Entrepreneurial Studies was established in 1992 with a major gift from the Paul and Anne Finstad and other St. Olaf alumni and, to date, has given more than $500,000 to over 180 students to begin new ventures.
The office also works closely with the student entrepreneurial club on campus, OleVentures. Find out ways in which you can be involved!
