What is the Next Generation Venture Fund?

The Next Generation Venture Fund (NGVF) is a collaborative venture between Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development (CTD), the Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP), the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and the Denver Center for Bright Kids (CBK) with the generous support of the Goldman Sachs Foundation and other donors.

The mission of the Next Generation Venture Fund (NGVF) is to build a pipeline for high potential students from diverse backgrounds that will lead from high school to selective colleges and universities, and on to challenging careers and key leadership roles in society. To fulfill this mission, the NGVF Scholar, together with his or her parents, participate in several activities and programs over a four year period.
