The Chambers Family Fund for Entrepreneurship is designed to provide a source of funding for projects and courses that encourage undergraduate and graduate students in entrepreneurial activities using the Internet or electronic commerce. Faculty who wish to submit an application for course development should submit a proposal
following the format below (parts A-D). A. Objectives: State precisely what the project should accomplish and the rationale for undertaking it. B. Methods: Discuss the design and methods proposed to accomplish project objectives in sufficient detail to allow assessment of their feasibility and applicability. Briefly identify any potential pitfalls or limitations of your project and suggest remedies. Proposals should contain a timeline or timetable of proposed activities to support the project in the year of the award. In cases where the applicant is proposing the initiation of an internet based business, then the proposal should contain some information about preliminary feasibility and needs assessments which have been performed for this entity. In those cases some preliminary thought should have also been given to the development of marketing and business plans. If the applicant’s plans require access to school systems, or other public places requiring permission to use their facilities, then letters of intent to participate should also be included as an appendix. Examples of topics and outlines for how one might present these kinds of plans can be viewed in a companion document on this website that the Piedmont Entrepreneurial Network used for their Spark Business Plan competition. C. Bibliography Include only the most pertinent literature references. D. Curriculum Vitae: Include a brief (not to exceed two pages) résumé. Click here for more information on the Chambers Grants. |
