HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WIN OVER $100,000 IN SIENA UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS AND
BRING HOME $250-$500 EACH IN CASH
The TITANS OF TOMORROW Free Business Camp for high school students 2025 was held on
Thursday, June 26 th and Friday, June 27 th at Siena University in Loudonville, New York. Students from
grades 9-12 participated in the two-day event learning crash courses in everything business and
entrepreneurship. Students learned from industry leaders in the world of business.
During the first day, Mentors taught 30-minute crash courses in marketing, products, planning, profit
Income/Expense statements, profit margins, and many more topics. After Lunch, Students formed
groups to decide what and where they were going to be selling the next day. Each group was
assigned two mentors and a $200 budget that they could use to buy inventory. They were also
allowed to bring tents, chairs and sings from home to improve their stands.
By the end of the day, every team had their strategy figured out.
The competition lasted four hours, and teams averaged $850 profit PER HOUR that day.
The winning team saw each team member walk away with $500 in cold, hard cash and $8,000 in
Siena University scholarships. However, because of all student entrepreneurs’ efforts during the
competition, the mentors decided the Students should keep their profits and split it among all
participants so every kid went home with at least $250 in cash.
SIENA supported our future entrepreneurs, giving each Student a $2,000 annual scholarship
renewable for 4 years totaling an $8,000 Scholarship to attend Siena.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to helping the community grow and succeed.
