Summer 2021

|
Are you an outstanding student looking to expand your horizons this summer? FTE is now accepting applications from academically motivated student leaders for the in-person and virtual programs listed below.
|
|
In its 29th year, EFL teaches rising juniors and seniors to integrate economics into decision making. This selective program is offered on 13 different prestigious campuses nationwide and introduces participants to key economic concepts and leadership theory.
Economic Forces in American History (EFIAH)
EFIAH is a cross-curricular program designed for students with a passion for history, civics, or economics. Designed with the understanding that leaders must appreciate history to make effective decisions, students learn to use the economic way of thinking to better understand pivotal events in American history.
Entrepreneurship in the Global Economy (EGE)
Offered on Yale University's campus, EGE goes beyond what most pre-college entrepreneurship programs teach. Participants not only learn practical skills like writing a business plan or pitching an idea, but also about the economic principles that make successful entrepreneurship possible.
Economics for Leaders Virtual (EFL Virtual)
In recognition of challenges faced by families because of COVID-19 and our desire to fulfill our mission of introducing future leaders to the economic way of thinking, FTE is offering the Economics for Leaders Virtual program for Summer 2021. The curriculum is highly interactive and covers the same key economic topics and leadership activities as the in-person EFL program.
