Scholarship Reimbursements Contributed by Area Business Partners

Through the generosity of organizations listed below, Northern Illinois SCORE is in a unique position of rewarding paid workshop attendees for their commitment to starting their business.

SCORE's Executive Team will review the business plans and "go decisions" of all workshop attendees.  Based on the completeness of their plans, and commitment to launching their business, a select few workshop attendees will be awarded a scholarship.  The scholarship will reward the attendee for their efforts by returning their full tuition so that they may allocate the investment to other start-up expenses.

To be eligible for a scholarship, the workshop attendee must have demonstrated completion of homework assignments including a business plan, and must have demonstrated satisfactory attendance at all required workhops.
