小额贷款计划

The microloan program is an experiential student-run program administered by the Institute for Banking and Finance (IBF) at the University of Evansville and funded by Old National Bank (ONB).

使命: The mission of the 小额贷款计划 is to support the launch and growth of Women and Minority-Owned Businesses (W/MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB) in the Evansville area, while engaging UE students through real-world applications of the concepts and skills taught in UE's Schroeder School of Business.

The Microloan Program will pursue its mission as three components:

Micro loans for Women and Minority Owned Businesses (W/MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), administered by UE students under the supervision of the Institute for Banking and Finance.
Executive mentors assist borrowers in the implementation and evaluation of their 商业计划s.
Coursework for UE students who will promote, administer, monitor, and report on the loan fund.

Who Can 应用 for a Loan?

Any new or existing business in the Evansville area that meets the criteria to be certified as a Women and Minority-Owned Business (W/MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), or Small Disadvantaged Business (SBD) can apply for this loan.
