The Enterprise Mobility Scholars Program was established in 2001 at WashU thanks to a generous donation from Enterprise Mobility and the Taylor family with the goal of “helping Washington University in St. Louis develop the best and brightest minds.” The program supports talented students who exhibit academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to community service.
The scholarship makes it possible for 15-20 deserving students in each entering class to have access to an exceptional educational experience at WashU. Approximately 10 percent of the Enterprise Mobility scholarships each year are reserved for high school graduates from the St. Louis area.
Eligibility and How to Apply
Students do not need to apply separately for the Enterprise Scholars Program, but students should note that they require financial assistance on the admission application before submission. Students who demonstrate financial need will automatically be considered for the scholarship.

Ten years later, Jack C. Taylor, founder of Enterprise Mobility, generously contributed an additional $25 million on behalf of the company, enabling WashU to significantly increase the number of students in the Enterprise Mobility Scholars Program. In 2015, Andy and Barbara Taylor donated $10 million to further benefit Enterprise Scholars. Andy and Barbara contributed an additional $10 million to fund the Taylor Family Scholarship Challenge in 2017.
