    Background

    University of Adelaide is offering a small business grant for a deserving student’s entrepreneurial endeavour. It has been left up to the representative to oversee the business case submissions and ascertain whether they are indeed viable and worthy of funding.

    To receive the funding, the project must meet the following criteria:

    · It must benefit a community – either a community or a select segment of the population.

    · It must be a unique endeavour

    · It must be completed within one (2) year.

    · It must have a budget less than $500,000 (AUD).

    · It can generate income (though not necessarily break even in the first year). If it does not generate income, it must provide significant benefit to a community, which must be quantified by a high score using a weighted score model

    · It must relate to your area of study (degree program)

    · All statements must have legitimate references.

    · Your tutor is your project sponsor.
