The Seed Project exists to foster and develop entrepreneurial spirit amongst Covenant College students and to create an opportunity for students to develop real ideas and put them into action.

 

Managed by the Center for Calling & Career, the Seed Project initiative encourages students to develop ideas amongst their peers and with the guidance of Covenant College faculty and staff, mentors from their local churches and home churches, and other personal contacts. The Center for Calling & Career serves as the coordinator and connector to advice, contacts, and other resources.

 

Students develop ideas, form teams, and build and submit business plans. A committee composed of Covenant College faculty, staff, alumni, and other friends of the College reviews the business plans and offers feedback. Each team is then given the opportunity to revise and resubmit their business plan for a second review by the committee. Teams whose business plans earn approval will have the opportunity to present their ideas and plans to a separate panel of judges. This seed capital panel serves as the ultimate authority to grant (or not grant) $10,000 in seed money to a single team.
