About this grant
During this time of economic stress, the purpose of this planning grant to the American Association of Community Colleges is to design a small demonstration that will help community colleges understand their potential to function as "virtual incubators," to spawn and foster new small business development opportunities in direct response to market need and niche. In doing so, participating colleges will demonstrate ways for mature business leaders and emerging small business entrepreneurs to forge productive, symbiotic relationships that stimulate the growth of new local businesses.
