Applications are now being accepted for the 2013 North Carolina Central University Summer Youth Business and Entrepreneurship Academy presented by the Make It Happen Foundation, and hosted by the NCCU School of Business. The NCCU School of Business Summer Youth Business and Entrepreneurship Academy is a non-residential 10-day program and will be held on the campus of NCCU from Monday, July 15, 2013 through Friday, July 26. The Academy is open to 20, high-achieving rising 10th and 11th grade students, with a B average or higher, from Durham, N.C., and surrounding counties.
