As part of Questa Foundation’s commitment to regional economic development, Questa wishes to support aspiring high school entrepreneurs in their college pursuits. Questa hopes to entice entrepreneurially minded young people to consider applying their innovative skills and talents in northeast Indiana after graduation from college.

Toward this end, Questa has designated up to two (2) of its annual Questa Scholars 1/2 Back Loans to recent high school graduates who are participating (or have participated) in the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center’s (NIIC’s) Student Venture Lab, a component of its BizWiz High School/College Entrepreneurship Program. Students in the NIIC’s Student Venture Lab have successfully completed the Center’s BizWiz entrepreneurial development program and are committed to growing their start-up businesses.

To aid these young entrepreneurs’ pursuit of a college education, Questa will select up to two (2) eligible and qualified Student Venture Lab students per year for participation in its Questa Scholars 1/2 Back Loan Program.

For consideration, Student Venture Lab students must meet all eligibility requirements established by Questa for the 1/2 Back Loan Program and must be a graduating high school senior or a first year college freshmen.

For further details on program eligibility and the application process, please visit the Questa Scholars 1/2 Back Loan Program link. Applicants must complete the full application process and should indicate that they are a participant in the NIIC’s Student Venture Lab entrepreneurship program.
