Student Support for Small Businesses & Entrepreneurs

The Center for Entrepreneurship matches small businesses and entrepreneurs with EMU faculty-led teams of senior business students who participate in 4 month long projects important for launching, sustaining and growing businesses. Our students work diligently for small businesses in our region.  This work is completely free for the small business owners and entrepreneurs.  We have an application process for small business owners/entrepreneurs to be selected for this project.  At present we take applications twice in a year for a limited number of businesses.  Specifically, this service starts once in January and again in September.  Business owners must apply by December end for the January start and by August end for September start.  If you are a local business owner/entrepreneur and want to apply for student help starting from January 2024 please complete the form available here.
