Applications are live for Silicon Valley Spring Break 2025 via the button below!

Have an Adventure

Every year, we take a select group of students to Silicon Valley in the Spring to meet with visionary entrepreneurs, leading executives and successful NC State alumni. We also offer an entrepreneurship-focused  trip to different cities (like Austin, Boston, New York and Asheville) during Fall break. These trips are high impact activities that have been a life-changing experience for many students, connecting them with a number of thought leaders and many NC State alumni across the country.

In addition to these two trips, we have several departmental partners that also take entrepreneurship-focused trips. Poole College of Management sponsors a trip to the United Kingdom, and the Albright Entrepreneurs Village sponsors a trip to a different city in America every year.

About Our Trips

The trips are affordable for students, averaging a total of $400 for an all-inclusive eye-opening adventure, which includes airfare or travel accommodations, food, and room and boarding.

Any degree-seeking NC State student in good conduct and academic standing are eligible to apply. Space is limited, so we encourage students to apply early and share why this trip is of importance to them.

How to Apply

Applications for Fall Break trips are open late July through August, and applications for Spring Break trips are open September through mid November. Please come back to this page during those windows to see live application links.

Applications will go live for Silicon Valley Spring Break 2025 in late September. Please refer back to this page or our events calendar at that time for the application.
