SEED Applicant Screening Information

This is the first step in the applicant process and must be completed by all applicants.  Click on the button below to apply.

All applicants must complete the Applicant Interview.  The Applicant Interview is a standard interview where all of the applicants are asked the same questions and is designed to provide the Applicant Selection Committee with insight into who you are beyond the paper application.

It is your responsibility to schedule your applicant interview.  Once you have submitted your application please click on the button below, complete the form and type SEED Interview in the Request for Counseling Information field.

Once you have completed your Applicant Interview, you will be sent a link to the online Entrepreneurial Assessment.  The Entrepreneurial Assessment will provide the Applicant Selection Committee with insight into your entrepreneurial traits and strengths.

Following your applicant interview, you will be asked to provide a copy of your Credit Karma credit report.  

The credit report is utilized to identify any potential character issues related to your credit behaviors (unpaid child support, judgements, etc.).

Upon completion of your Entrepreneurial Assessment and submission of your credit report you will be asked to record a 2 minute video for the Applicant Selection Committee.

The video should include an introduction of you, your business concept and why you would like to be considered for the SEED Program.

Any video longer than 2 minutes will be edited to remove any content past the 2 minute mark of the video.
