Get DeJuan's Business started

My name is DeJuan Calloway, I am a senior at Central Michigan University studying Entrepreneurship with minors in both Psychology and Leadership. I am approaching graduation, but decided to get a head start on creating my business. This Spring I will be competing in CMU's New Venture Competition which allows students the opportunity to create a business and present it in front of a panel of judges in hopes of winning a grand prize of $30,000. 


Currently, I am developing a business which aims to help others pay for college. Entrepreneurship is about creating a good or service but it also creates jobs. This is why I chose this field. 

As you may know, paying for college is difficult if you don't necessarily have the resources to pay for it. Even greater, the price of college continues to increase every year. Being the product of a single-parent household, I know the importance of hard work. I am very goal-oriented and driven. I am someone who knows, by experience, how hard it is to pay for university tuition. There have been many days where I have not known if I was going to be able to continue my education due to lack of finances. I notice that this is a major issue for students and people in general. This is why I am creating a business that does exactly that: help people pay for college. 

My background in Entrepreneurship
-I am well-versed in all aspects of business
-I have created numerous business plans, both individually and in a group setting
-I have competed in CMU's New Venture Competition two years in a row, this year will be my 3rd year competing
-I have also competed in CMU's Make-a-Pitch Competition
-Last year, I won the Venture Shaping Award for $1,000
-I am the co-founder/Vice President of the American Entrepreneurship Association on CMU's campus which promotes Entrepreneurship in the Mount Pleasant community

I am dedicated to not only starting my own businesses but also helping others. Please help me, help others by donating whatever you can. Any amount is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
