Applications Now Open for 2024 Summer Company Student Grant Program
Submitted Media Release

The Brantford-Brant Business Resource Enterprise Centre (BRC) is now accepting applications for the 2024 Summer Company Student Grant Program. Aspiring entrepreneurs, ages 15 to 29 years old, who are considering starting and operating their own business this summer are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will receive up to $1,500 to assist with start-up costs and an additional $1,500 upon completion of the program.

“The Summer Company Student Grant Program represents more than just a financial boost for young entrepreneurs, it’s a gateway to real-world business experience and personal growth,” says Mae Legg, Manager of Economic Development and Business Resource Centre, City of Brantford. “This program has been a launch pad for many successful careers and we’re excited to see the innovative ideas and fresh energy this year’s participants will bring to the table.”

For over 15 years, the BRC has proudly administered this program for students living in the City of Brantford, County of Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk Counties, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Six Nations of the Grand River. The program is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade and enables students to develop their own business and learn what it takes to be an entrepreneur and a leader.

The plunge into business ownership teaches students how to problem solve, how to communicate effectively, and the importance of a strong work ethic. Students will learn all aspects of running a business, from managing finances, marketing and sales, customer service, inventory control, and the often overlooked behind-the-scenes tasks that are key to a thriving enterprise.
