Who gives grants/scholarships for tuition, living allowances, software, technology for entrepreneurship?
I am in the process of applying to a Doctoral Program in Business. My goal is to build a business income stream by promoting my value proposition to SME businesses to help them save money or improve ROI by implementing my process improvement initiatives.
Therefore, I am searching for grants and/or scholarships to buy stand along process improvement, statistical and simulation software, and small Enterprise software-as-a-service platform. In addition, I need to attend e-learning workshops and buy a communication server to develop and host real-time training for SME via my entrepreneurial initiative. My business model will integrate change management, governmental psychology, real-time training and deliver research, design and process improvement solutions; regardless of devices, browsers and platforms.

Go to http://www.grants.gov for a list of government grants and how you can apply for them. But, there are no grants for a for profit business unless you are opening a daycare and then it is a minimal amount. If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan. No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plot. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plot.
Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plot and discuss various loan options available to you.
