Donor Recognition
We would like to thank our Spark Grant Fund Donors and many Friends of Olympus for their amazing support of Project Olympus and our student entrepreneurs.
The Olympus Spark Grant Fund helps students kick-start their business ideas. Olympus Spark Grant Fund [.pdf]
The program is funded by charitable gifts from alumni and other community donors. Students submit proposals and practice 'pitching' the donors. Donors play a vital role in helping Olympus evaluate the students' applications and making award decisions. This is an ongoing grant fund where donors can begin their participation at any time.
