Wayne State University and Ford are teaming up to offer a once-in-a-graduating-class opportunity by offering a year-long paid fellowship with Dearborn's biggest automaker.

Ford will allow one Wayne State MBA student or graduate to spend a year at its Global Technologies subsidiary as part of the university's Adams Entrepreneurship Fellowship Program. There the student will work with Ford's intellectual property to see what can be commercialized, spun off, or licensed.

"It provides a really unique opportunity for one of the outstanding MBA graduates to participate in a robust entrepreneurial experience," says Terry Cross, executive in residence at Wayne State University's School of Business.

Funding for the fellowship will be provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
