Impact of Donor Support
Through existing ASU Venture Development programs, The Richard D. Filley ‘Make a Difference’ Award seeks to identify promising undergraduate engineering student candidates whose demonstrated entrepreneurial accomplishments and future startup potential merit recognition, encouragement, and a grant award. Winners are selected by a committee selected and convened by E+I @ Fulton administrators each spring.
I created this award to help continue the success of ASU students by identifying promising entrepreneurial engineering students early in their studies, and through a competitive nomination and selection process, rewarding the winner(s) most likely to make a difference and change the world as an entrepreneur"
