Westminster College business students have the opportunity to compete for the David W. Edward Entrepreneurship Scholarship.
"Any Westminster student who has at least 24 credit hours in accounting, business administration, or economics is eligible to compete for this scholarship," said Tom Rosengarth, chair of the Westminster Department of Economics and Business. Teams can be one to three members who would share the $2,500 scholarship. I encourage all qualified students to take advantage of this realistic learn-by-doing opportunity."
The scholarship was established by Youngstown native and long-time friend of Westminster College David Edward. It will be awarded to the winner of a business plan, which includes a business name, logo, and location. In addition the team must submit an assessment of the business environment, a marketing plan, a resource/operating plan, a financing plan, and projected financials. Judging, which will be scored by non-faculty business professionals, will be based on creativity of business concept, reasonableness of assumptions and projections, professional writing, and persuasiveness of the oral presentation of the business plan.
The deadline for submitting written business plans is March 18, and the scholarship will be announced April 30 at Westminster's Honors Convocation.
For more information about this scholarship, contact Rosengarth at (724) 946-7169 or e-mail rosengte@westminster.edu.
