Students Awarded NEXT STEP Grants

Two students at Pitt-Bradford have been awarded a total of $1,350 in NEXT STEP Business Grants to start their own businesses.

Winners were Steven L. Hurd, a psychology major from Bradford, who received an $850 grant to develop Runk Pock, a feasibility study to identify artists in McKean County who want to be involved in a community art center to sell and promote art and teach artists.

Matthew Covert, a hospitality management major from Bradford, received a $500 grant for Royalty Clothing Couture. With the grant, Covert plans to test ideas for a T-shirt design company.

The NEXT STEP competition is sponsored by the Pitt-Bradford entrepreneurship program to help student entrepreneurs move their businesses forward.

The next round of grants for students will be awarded in the spring. For more information, visit the Pitt-Bradford entrepreneurship program website at www.pittpowerofe.com
