(Lee’s Summit, MO) Summit Christian Academy is pleased to announce senior Emirson Schooley as the recipient of the $3,000 SCA Entrepreneurship Scholarship.
The Entrepreneurship Scholarship, available for students who have taken and completed the school’s Entrepreneurship course, was set up by an anonymous SCA donor who puts a high value on entrepreneurship. At the end of the course, students present their business plan to a panel of impartial judges in a “Shark Tank” format to determine who has developed the most viable business plan. The winning scholarship encourages the student to continue in an education toward business ventures.
Emerson’s business plan, called “Sunshine Fields” is a farming business that will encourage the community to not only make a purchase, but also participate in gathering eggs and their own produce.
“Not only did she develop a well thought out business plan, but she also presented a viable and investable business that I know she has a true passion for,” shared SCA Business Faculty Member Georgia Duncan.
Emirson plans to attend Dordt University and study Animal Science and Agriculture.
