We here at OdioWorks feel that small business and entrepreneurship is a driving, yet often overlooked, force in our economy. What's more, students today have very little opportunity to gain small business experience while attending school. Recognizing the values of this experience, it is the goal of this scholarship to promote its pursuit at the university level. All Sam needed was $500 to start OdioWorks, LLC - we're hoping we can pass the opportunity along.
