Daytona State College recently received a $25,000 grant from Truist Foundation to expand the college’s entrepreneurial education and training program.

The grant will allow the program to establish a new initiative — Launch to Success — which will focus on helping DSC student entrepreneurs bring their ideas to market with help from a new makerspace outfitted with prototyping equipment. Truist teammates will also mentor students and help them transform their concepts into market-ready products.

Since its start in 2021, DSC’s EET program has trained 57 faculty members to incorporate entrepreneurial curriculum into their classes. More than 1,600 students have received entrepreneurial training, design thinking and financial management basics.
