彼得?泰爾：提供青年創業獎學金

機構：泰爾獎學金（Thiel Fellowship）

????44歲的百萬富翁彼得?泰爾曾是貝寶（PayPal）公司創始人，并且是Facebook初期投資人，他成立的泰爾獎學金項目目前已經進入了第二輪，將向約20名20歲以下的年輕人，每人授予100,000美元，用于研究、開發他們的技術創意。有幸入選的年輕人還可以得到硅谷重量級導師們的指導。入選者涉及的領域非常廣泛，包括生物科技、能源，甚至機器人。

????條件是什么呢？入選者在獎學金兩年的期限內不能上大學。雖然作為一名信奉自由主義的科技界企業家，泰爾自己也有本科學歷和斯坦福大學（Stanford）的法學位（目前，他還在母校授課），但他卻鼓勵前途無量的年輕人以蓋茨、喬布斯、扎克伯格為榜樣。這些名聲赫赫的輟學生證明，只要真的真的非常優秀，要想成功根本沒有必要浪費時間坐在校園里聽課。

Peter Thiel

Organization: Thiel Fellowship

????The 44-year-old billionaire, PayPal founder, and Facebook (FB) investor's Thiel Fellowship program, currently in its second cycle, is giving $100,000 apiece to about 20 people -- all under the age of 20 -- to research and develop their tech ideas. The fellows, whose interests range from biotechnology to energy to robotics, are also given access to bigwig Silicon Valley mentors.

????The catch? The participants can't be enrolled in college for the fellowship's two-year duration. Libertarian-minded tech entrepreneur Thiel may have a BA and a law degree from Stanford (and he recently taught a class at his alma mater), but he's encouraging promising youngsters to go the Gates-Jobs-Zuckerberg route. These famous dropouts are testaments to the fact that if you're really, really good, you don't need to sit through years of lectures to make it big.
