DANE G. HANSEN SCHOLARSHIP HALL
Made possible by a $3.5 million gift from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, this facility serves as an integrated living environment for students at Fort Hays State University. Residents within the Dane G. Hansen Scholarship Hall are challenged with various learning goals, a specified academic curriculum and entrepreneurial extracurricular activities. Combining innovative amenities with cutting-edge academic resources, this co-ed scholarship hall is an incubator for new business ideas — serving as a space where students are free to develop concepts and perhaps even start building their own entrepreneurial companies. Complete with the latest technology, this scholarship hall houses 33 residents, including a graduate assistant who serves in a support role to the students. The facility includes a community room, equipped with the latest teaching and learning technologies, as well as innovative spaces to stimulate teamwork. The Dane G. Hansen Scholarship Hall opened to students August 2016.
Students from all academic majors may submit their application to live within the scholarship hall, however they must have a desire to learn more about entrepreneurship and to potentially start their own business. Selected students will not only be linked with local, regional and state economic development resources, but will also have the opportunity to participate in activities ranging from tours of innovative and startup businesses, to business plan and 3-D prototype development.
Opportunities are available for individuals and businesses to partner with Fort Hays State University in building and sustaining entrepreneurship programs in support of our students.
