| Continuing to push entrepreneurship education as a campus-wide opportunity, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation just announced its second Kauffman Campuses Initiative with a $35 million commitment to colleges and universities throughout the country. Combined with matching commitments from other funding partners and participating schools, more than $200 million will be directed to cross-campus entrepreneurship programs over the next five years. The Kauffman Campuses Initiative was launched in 2003 to transform the campus culture by providing entrepreneurship courses and programs within liberal arts, engineering and other disciplines outside of the business school. Each of the latest prospective Kauffman Campuses schools will be given a planning grant to develop its proposal which will be judged by an independent panel on how innovative and sustainable it is. The grant amount will be based on each school's commitment to entrepreneurship education across all academic fields, its unique needs, and the scope of its proposal. Schools participating in the new grant program include Arizona State University, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown University, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. For a full list of schools who have been invited to submit proposals. |
