One of the most exciting announcements made at every NACCE
Conference is the winners of the Coleman grants. Competition was brisk in this
year’s competition, which is titled the NACCE Entrepreneurial College in Action
Grants, powered by the Coleman Foundation. As Mike Hennessy of Coleman pointed
out during the award presentation, there were 30-some applicants. Those were
narrowed down to 18 semi-finalists and then down to 13 finalists. Mike noted
that there was more president participation in the pitches this year than ever
before. Over $162,000 is being awarded to 11 colleges.
