Student Entrepreneurship is one of the three components of the Student Employment and Experience Development (SEED) Program.
When school is out for the summer, you could drop your résumés off at local businesses… or you could create a business of your own! Student Entrepreneurship can provide you with assistance to start a summer business, including an interest-free loan of up to $3,000. The loan must be repaid by October 15th (if paid in full, you may qualify for a one-third reimbursement). Launch a painting business, a retail operation, a lawn care service… choose an interest with market demand.
