<p>Although the website talks about being nominated, you become a Ventures Scholar via online self-registration:</p>
<p>[Ventures</a> Scholars Program | Online Application](<a href=“http://www.venturescholar.org/hs/register.php]Ventures”>http://www.venturescholar.org/hs/register.php)</p>
<p>Since Ventures does not have scholarships related to it, and since it is primarily an information sharing vehicle, they only require self-reporting.</p>
