An Oscar winning actress can't act. A Grammy winning singer can't hold a tune. And a New York best selling author can't write a proper story. Even how innovators can’t innovate.

But unfortunately, not to themselves. Even the best of the best may feel inadequate. No matter the great things someone achieves, there is a lingering voice that makes you feel like all those accomplishments don't matter because you aren’t actually deserving.  [Read More](https://horn.udel.edu/handing-over-the-horn-series-feeling-like-the-imposter) by [Yashlee Francois](https://horn.udel.edu/author/yashlee-francois) • March 01, 2024 Topics: [entrepreneurship](https://horn.udel.edu/topic/entrepreneurship), [resources](https://horn.udel.edu/topic/resources), [students](https://horn.udel.edu/topic/students), [innovation](https://horn.udel.edu/topic/innovation) ### [Horn Entrepreneurship's Awards & Scholarships 2024](https://horn.udel.edu/horn-entrepreneurships-awards-scholarships-2024) Horn Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware is pleased to unveil a dynamic shift in the application process for our esteemed [Entrepreneurship Awards and Scholarships](https://www.udel.edu/research-innovation/horn/student-enrichment/awards-scholarships/).
