Student Microgrants

Microgrants: Launch and Scale-Up

Thanks to generous support from Burton D. Morgan Foundation, LaunchNET is offering funding via microgrants to help Kent State student entrepreneurs move their businesses forward and reach their goals. This year we will be featuring a Launch Microgrant and a Scale-Up Microgrant. 

Thanks to a generous donation from friend of Kent State University, Ken Robinson, we are able to provide microgrant support to additional, fashion-specific student entrepreneurs!
