We are again proud to offer e-Fest / Schulze Entrepreneurship Development Grants for 2020!

This grant application is to be completed by a faculty or staff member involved with entrepreneurship education and who may also serve as a student team advisor. There is one grant per college or university. Please do not contact the Richard M Schulze Family Foundation directly. Please do not call them. If you have questions please email David.Deeds@StThomas.edu.

First time grantees will receive $2,500. Schools that received a grant(s) in the past and met grant requirements are eligible for a continuation grant of $1,500. Funds are to be used to help develop e-Fest teams and/or support a school business concept competition or other undergraduate student-focused entrepreneurship activities. We expect grant recipients to mention e-Fest to their students and encourage the formation of at least one undergraduate student team. Funds are limited, all applications are screened for eligibility according to e-Fest rules, and grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
