ENTREPENEUR CONTEST OFFERS PRIZE MONEY

Student winners of the 1995 Missouri Collegiate Entrepreneur Award and their faculty nominators will be rewarded with a financial leg up on their competitors.

Students in Missouri's colleges and universities are eligible to compete for the award.

The contest is co-sponsored by the Missouri Small Business Development Centers and the Jefferson Smurfit Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at St. Louis University.

The prize money -- $1,000 for first place, $500 for second and $250 for third -- is donated by the Coleman Foundation.

The educators who nominate the winning student entrepreneurs will receive matching monetary awards.
