Syracuse university

This federal Project Grant award of $150,000 was provided by the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Entrepreneurial Development under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program (CFDA 59.043). The funding will support Syracuse University, a private university located in Syracuse, New York, to deliver training, counseling, and technical assistance to small businesses owned and controlled by women, with an emphasis on socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. The goal is to remove discriminatory barriers women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital, markets, management, and other critical resources for business growth. Syracuse University may collaborate with other non-profit entities, minority-serving institutions, women's business councils, and state/local economic development agencies as sub-awardees to execute specific project components. The project period runs from September 30, 2023 to September 29, 2024.
