Student Experience
Elevate Your College Experience
Horn Entrepreneurship’s Enrichment programs elevate the college experience by welcoming students into a like-minded community and supporting their acquisition of valuable skills, experiences and connections outside of the classroom.
Delaware Innovation Fellows (DIF)
DIF is a 4-year experience and community for passionate leaders, innovators, makers and entrepreneurs from any major who seek to turn their ideas into a reality.
"DIF opened up a whole new realm of opportunities that wouldn't typically be available to a mechanical engineering student."
Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows
The Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows (SELF) program is a highly selective, unique experience designed to expand and deepen understanding of leadership and oneself as a leader, connect and learn with others, and inspire initiative for positive impact.
Leadership… it’s getting in touch with your dreams and those things in your life that really inspired yourself. You can’t be strong and great for other people unless you are strong and great for yourself.
CEO & Founder, The Siegfried Group
