Judy and Than Field have a traditional scholarship established
at the school, but this year they created the Field
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Scholarship Fund. This fund will
provide need-based assistance for students to attend
entrepreneurial events and support initiatives and activities that
enhance students educational experiences. This[P1] scholarship will
allow UMSI students who otherwise couldnt afford it to participate
in such initiatives as Start-up Treks, the South by Southwest
mix-pitch competition, MPowered pitches and other entrepreneurial
activities.
Marc Weiser, founder and managing director of RPM Ventures in Ann
Arbor and two-time graduate of the University of Michigan with a
Bachelor of Science in Engineering and an MBA, made a gift to the
school to provide funding for The Weiser iEntrepreneur Award to
recognize students entrepreneurial pursuits.
