Guidelines
The Chambers Family Fund for Entrepreneurship supports projects and courses
that encourage undergraduate and graduate students to use the Internet or
electronic commerce for entrepreneurial activities. Created through an
endowment from the family of John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems, proposals are received twice a year, the 2nd
Friday in February and the first Friday in October, by a committee
appointed by the Provost.
.Several awards up to $10,000 may be made each year. Recipients may apply for
awards in subsequent years but must include a progress report on their prior
award.
While a portion of the fund may be used for faculty expenses related to the
purpose, these shall not exceed 50 percent of the annual total. The top
priority for spending shall be for activities that directly involve
students.
Faculty may submit an application for course development; students must
first secure a faculty sponsor or advisor and then submit a proposal.
