Small Business Warriors Scholarship

The COVID-19 Shutdown Gives Rise to Small Business Warriors

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted small businesses throughout the U.S.  Non-essential businesses were forced to temporarily close to comply with health and safety guidelines.

This shutdown caused some companies to struggle to stay afloat while others were compelled to permanently close their doors. Yet other firms were able to adapt, persevere, and even flourish.

Many of these successful businesses are an integral part of the communities in which they operate. Their ingenuity and tenacity serve to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs, business professionals, and small business owners.

To apply for Revenued’s $2,500 Small Business Warriors Scholarship, choose a small business in your community that survived the COVID-19 crisis and has special significance to you. Then:
