彼得•泰尔：提供青年创业奖学金

机构：泰尔奖学金（Thiel Fellowship）

    44岁的百万富翁彼得•泰尔曾是贝宝（PayPal）公司创始人，并且是Facebook初期投资人，他成立的泰尔奖学金项目目前已经进入了第二轮，将向约20名20岁以下的年轻人，每人授予100,000美元，用于研究、开发他们的技术创意。有幸入选的年轻人还可以得到硅谷重量级导师们的指导。入选者涉及的领域非常广泛，包括生物科技、能源，甚至机器人。

    条件是什么呢？入选者在奖学金两年的期限内不能上大学。虽然作为一名信奉自由主义的科技界企业家，泰尔自己也有本科学历和斯坦福大学（Stanford）的法学位（目前，他还在母校授课），但他却鼓励前途无量的年轻人以盖茨、乔布斯、扎克伯格为榜样。这些名声赫赫的辍学生证明，只要真的真的非常优秀，要想成功根本没有必要浪费时间坐在校园里听课。

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.
