&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;One of the most difficult tasks as an entrepreneur is determining if an idea is worth pursuing. While there is a &amp;quot;shark tank&amp;quot; program in the planning stages at the University of Dayton, there is currently no resource for early stage project advising.

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Many students currently have entrepreneur ideas, but lack the connections needed to move from ideation to a working product or startup. Often as a result of little collaboration across department lines, there are many cases where a team of engineering students lack business expertise, business students lack technical (engineering) knowledge, or where any of these groups lack artistic ability. By creating a database of high achieving and talented students from across the the entire university, student innovators could easily fill the gaps that exist in their teams.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Generating Awareness and Excitement for Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;There are many students and faculty that are currently doing some incredible things that push forward a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. By highlighting their hard work and success, we can raise the profile of these faculty and student members. Moreover, it would get the word out about current resources on campus, and generate excitement for such activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Problem Addressed&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Student organizations tend to be ineffective at carrying their missions and goals through in an academic year. We have found that students, as individuals, are the ones that carry though real change. Instead of highlighting students groups, highlighting individuals could inspire others to take action as well. Another aspect of this is that some faculty and do not recognize the importance of being innovative and entrepreneurial, and therefore, do not pass this knowledge to their students. In order to raise the profile of I&amp;amp;E, faculty should be recognized and celebrated for their efforts in teaching students how to be innovative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Implementation&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''Feature Student's Projects on Posters around Campus -'''&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;In order to promote a culture of innovation, it is important to recognize students who are currently engaged in I&amp;amp;E activities. Through featuring students and their projects around campus via posters and news articles, we hope to inspire other students to follow in their steps.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''Create an Award for Outstanding I&amp;amp;E Professors''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;In addition to recognizing student achievement, it is equally important to recognize outstanding professors who install I&amp;amp;E mindsets in their courses. Through this award, we can encourage more professors to incorporate I&amp;amp;E into their courses.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Incorporate I&amp;amp;E Into Coursework&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;One of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these mindsets into classroom experiences. While student run clubs and extra-curricular are all great ways to drive passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students. &amp;amp;nbsp;We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspective.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #1: Revamp and Expand the Engineering Innovations Course&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The school of engineering currently offers an introductory course for all engineering students that focuses on engineering innovation. This course has the potential to be expanded to students across the entire university as an intro to I&amp;amp;E course. With the help of the UIF cohort, the course can be redesigned to include entrepreneur content and make a lasting impression on students which they can carry through their time in college.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #2: Instill I&amp;amp;E Concepts in Existing Courses&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it is tempting to create new courses that teach I&amp;amp;E principles, there is a lot of potential for adding I&amp;amp;E content to existing courses.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The addition of the planned makerspace to the University of Dayton I&amp;amp;E ecosystem provides educators with an opportunity to incorporate an innovative mindset in the courses they teach. This can be accomplished through creating homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignments.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #5: Develop Student Experiential Resources&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #1: Organize a Hackathon&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there was an Air Force Hackathon held locally in recent years, the University of Dayton has yet to sponsor a hackathon on their own campus.&amp;amp;nbsp;Hackathons are a great way to engage students in a fun and exciting approach to I&amp;amp;E. There is a great ammount of potential to bring students together from many different departments within the university in order to solve a common problem. In addition to fostering multidisciplinary collaborations, a hackathon has the potential to introduce a wide variety of students to innovation based activities.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #2: Get Students Involved with Design Competitions&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on faculty input, one of the highly desired outcomes of the planned maker space is to foster multidisciplinary collaborations. One potential way to accomplish this is for the UIF cohort to organize design teams to compete in national design competitions as well as locally hosted competitions for University of Dayton students. Competition formats would range from poster presentations, pitching ideas, or rapid prototype development. In order for these events to be highly inclusive of students from all parts of the university, challenges will be selected which focus on innovative approaches to problems rather than technical ability. The previously mentioned hackathons will be able to build off of these competitions in order to quickly move ideas generated in the design competitions into an early prototype phase.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Generating Awareness and Excitement for Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;There are many students and faculty that are currently doing some incredible things that push forward a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. By highlighting their hard work and success, we can raise the profile of these faculty and student members. Moreover, it would get the word out about current resources on campus, and generate excitement for such activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Problem Addressed&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Student organizations tend to be ineffective at carrying their missions and goals through in an academic year. We have found that students, as individuals, are the ones that carry though real change. Instead of highlighting students groups, highlighting individuals could inspire others to take action as well. Another aspect of this is that some faculty and do not recognize the importance of being innovative and entrepreneurial, and therefore, do not pass this knowledge to their students. In order to raise the profile of I&amp;amp;E, faculty should be recognized and celebrated for their efforts in teaching students how to be innovative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Implementation&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''Feature Student's Projects on Posters around Campus -'''&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;In order to promote a culture of innovation, it is important to recognize students who are currently engaged in I&amp;amp;E activities. Through featuring students and their projects around campus via posters and news articles, we hope to inspire other students to follow in their steps.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''Create an Award for Outstanding I&amp;amp;E Professors''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;In addition to recognizing student achievement, it is equally important to recognize outstanding professors who install I&amp;amp;E mindsets in their courses. Through this award, we can encourage more professors to incorporate I&amp;amp;E into their courses.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Incorporate I&amp;amp;E Into Coursework&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;One of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these mindsets into classroom experiences. While student run clubs and extra-curricular are all great ways to drive passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students. &amp;amp;nbsp;We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspective.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #1: Revamp and Expand the Engineering Innovations Course&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The school of engineering currently offers an introductory course for all engineering students that focuses on engineering innovation. This course has the potential to be expanded to students across the entire university as an intro to I&amp;amp;E course. With the help of the UIF cohort, the course can be redesigned to include entrepreneur content and make a lasting impression on students which they can carry through their time in college.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #2: Instill I&amp;amp;E Concepts in Existing Courses&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it is tempting to create new courses that teach I&amp;amp;E principles, there is a lot of potential for adding I&amp;amp;E content to existing courses.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The addition of the planned makerspace to the University of Dayton I&amp;amp;E ecosystem provides educators with an opportunity to incorporate an innovative mindset in the courses they teach. This can be accomplished through creating homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignments.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #5: Develop Student Experiential Resources&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: smaller; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #1: Organize a Hackathon&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there was an Air Force Hackathon held locally in recent years, the University of Dayton has yet to sponsor a hackathon on their own campus.&amp;amp;nbsp;Hackathons are a great way to engage students in a fun and exciting approach to I&amp;amp;E. There is a great ammount of potential to bring students together from many different departments within the university in order to solve a common problem. In addition to fostering multidisciplinary collaborations, a hackathon has the potential to introduce a wide variety of students to innovation based activities.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tactic #2: Get Students Involved with Design Competitions&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on faculty input, one of the highly desired outcomes of the planned maker space is to foster multidisciplinary collaborations. One potential way to accomplish this is for the UIF cohort to organize design teams to compete in national design competitions as well as locally hosted competitions for University of Dayton students. Competition formats would range from poster presentations, pitching ideas, or rapid prototype development. In order for these events to be highly inclusive of students from all parts of the university, challenges will be selected which focus on innovative approaches to problems rather than technical ability. The previously mentioned hackathons will be able to build off of these competitions in order to quickly move ideas generated in the design competitions into an early prototype phase.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Meeting with Jahannie Torres gives&amp;amp;nbsp;anyone the inspiration to make the&amp;amp;nbsp;proper positive change in their community. As a Computer Engineer in Puerto Rico, she took note at how hard getting into Higher Education (HE) really was monetarily. Coming from a challenged area, she recognized that something had to be done, and created a scholarship program for students to help them reach a better education. In her own view, &amp;quot;If you give kids the proper education, they can open doors and really change the world&amp;quot;. After numerous trials and tribulations, Jahannie has had great success with her program. There were a few steps that she wanted to emphasize that helped her get to where she is now. &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Gaining Funding: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;An important lesson that Jahannie pointed out was to approach businesses that can relate to the scholarship you are trying to create. Implifying what she pointed she seeks funding from local businesses that know the situation and her story because if they understand, they will be more likely to donate. She also added that being personal with clients helps tremendously.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;She said,&amp;quot; Don't limit yourself to just businesses, though. Ask professors and other faculty or personnel who share your passion. If they share your passion and you have a plan as well as good pitch, then don't assume they won't help. You miss every shot you don't take.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Go big, get a website. A website can allow your cause to reach so many more people. We live in a global society, so why not capitalize on it! Let people know what you're doing. Add a link to a Go Fund Me page as well. Every little bit can help.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Lastly, it may not seem ideal, but don't rule out your personal savings. Don't dry up your bank account, but don't rule it out either. You're asking others to donate to a cause you're passionate about, if you donate your own money, it will show you don't just talk the talk but you walk the walk.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Don't forget to give your donators recognition, too. Unless they request not to receive it, it is nice to do to show your appreciation. Building a strong community is important.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Type of Donations: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;When you ask for money from businesses, ask for them to give it as a check. Then you can give it directly to the kids' parents at the graduation ceremony. Then you can ensure the family knows what the money is meant to be used for. This is the method that Jahannie used which seemed to work very well. Another process could pool the money together and create a bank fund that is evenly distributed towards those who are in need of assistance.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;If you do get other forms of money, put it into a bank account. Then you could utilize it for other resources towards the same goal. Jahannie uses the extra money to purchase school supplies to support other students educational needs. This is something to take special note in. To help kids in school, they mainly need two types of assistance: tuition reduction and some way to cover the physical school materials (notebooks, folders, etc.)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Know Your Cause: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Knowing your cause is very important to implement your idea successfully. If you don't know why you are doing it there is a chance to drop your work amidst. Jahannie knows her reason well and so she got succeeded at implementing her idea. She suffered a lot to get scholarship being a girl from a&amp;amp;nbsp;disadvantaged community. After getting her scholarship for college, she enjoyed all the opportunities and privileges that a college provides for the development of the student. She wished that other people from her community should also experience those. As the first generation girl to receive a&amp;amp;nbsp;scholarship and being a daughter to an unemployed single mother she knew all the hardships that a person from her community should face to receive an&amp;amp;nbsp;education. She believed that education can change the fate of her community and she decided to help as many students as she can to get educated. Her reason was strong enough to cross all the barriers and obstacles in her path and ultimately led her to succeed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Future vision of her scholarship funding: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Her scholarship funding mission is doing well now but she is not yet satisfied. She is going to reach out a large number of sponsors and scholars soon with her website. She also wants to provide public school provisions&amp;amp;nbsp;like computers to help more scholars with little funding. After discussing what her views were for the future, several students made comments which she physically took note on. One of these had to do with gaining funds to purchase a product that would then be community shared. An example of this could be buying a computer for the classroom that could then be used by all of the students. That way everyone has the opportunity instead of just a handful of grateful students.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Meeting with Jahannie Torres gives&amp;amp;nbsp;anyone the inspiration to make the&amp;amp;nbsp;proper positive change in their community. As a Computer Engineer in Puerto Rico, she took note at how hard getting into Higher Education (HE) really was monetarily. Coming from a challenged area, she recognized that something had to be done, and created a scholarship program for students to help them reach a better education. In her own view, &amp;quot;If you give kids the proper education, they can open doors and really change the world&amp;quot;. After numerous trials and tribulations, Jahannie has had great success with her program. There were a few steps that she wanted to emphasize that helped her get to where she is now. &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Gaining Funding: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;An important lesson that Jahannie pointed out was to approach businesses that can relate to the scholarship you are trying to create. Choose local businesses that know the situation and know your story because if they understand, they will be more likely to donate. Being personal with your clients helps tremendously.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Don't limit yourself to just businesses, though. Ask professors and other faculty or personnel who share your passion. If they share your passion and you have a plan as well as good pitch, then don't assume they won't help. You miss every shot you don't take.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Go big, get a website. A website can allow your cause to reach so many more people. We live in a global society, so why not capitalize on it! Let people know what you're doing. Add a link to a Go Fund Me page as well. Every little bit can help.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Lastly, it may not seem ideal, but don't rule out your personal savings. Don't dry up your bank account, but don't rule it out either. You're asking others to donate to a cause you're passionate about, if you donate your own money, it will show you don't just talk the talk but you walk the walk.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Don't forget to give your donators recognition, too. Unless they request not to receive it, it is nice to do to show your appreciation. Building a strong community is important.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Type of Donations: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;When you ask for money from businesses, ask for them to give it as a check. Then you can give it directly to the kids' parents at the graduation ceremony. Then you can ensure the family knows what the money is meant to be used for. This is the method that Jahannie used which seemed to work very well. Another process could pool the money together and create a bank fund that is evenly distributed towards those who are in need of assistance.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;If you do get other forms of money, put it into a bank account. Then you could utilize it for other resources towards the same goal. Jahannie uses the extra money to purchase school supplies to support other students educational needs. This is something to take special note in. To help kids in school, they mainly need two types of assistance: tuition reduction and some way to cover the physical school materials (notebooks, folders, etc.)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Know Your Cause: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background-color:#ffff00;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Know what your doing and why your doing it.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vision of her scholarship funding: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
