In January 2010 we had our first NEXT STEP Business Grant Competition.  With 4 applicants we were able to make one grant of $1990 to Andrew Hwang to develop his gaming center in downtown Bradford.

This Fall we will have another round of competition for up to $2,000.  This money can be used to make a proto-type or do a market test or get your business started with a targeted niche.

So if you will be a Pitt-Bradford student in the Fall of 2010, work on your ideas this summer.  Feel free to email Prof Megill (megill@...) for feedback.
