More than $30,000 in college scholarships are up for grabs for Detroit Mercy students through a business challenge, sponsored collaboratively by the Michigan Colleges Alliance and Ford College Community Challenge.<\/p>\n
The Center for Social Entrepreneurship will be hosting an information session on the challenge on Jan. 11 from 12:45-1:30 p.m. in Commerce & Finance, room 138. Lunch and beverages will be provided.<\/p>\n
Teams of 3-5 students will be challenged with coming up with innovative solutions to community problems, in partnership with a local non-profit organization. The competition is a two-part challenge with teams competing at the state level first, followed by going to the national level. There is $7,500 in scholarship money for the most compelling and actionable team proposals at the state level and an additional $25,000 awarded at the national level.<\/p>\n
