Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

This topic may be a little off subject for this forum. But this was the forum I felt best suited my topic.  I am a senior at a four year regional university in Oklahoma. I am a business entrepreneurship major, and I`ll be taking an international entrepreneurship intersession class this May. As a supplement to this class, there is an optional 10 day excursion through Greece and Italy that offers a chance to explore business opportunities and markets on a more global level. I am currently helping with fundraising for this trip, but so far it hasn`t been as successful as we had hoped. Are there any resources for possible fundraising opportunities that would be advisable to seek out, or possible grants that may be available for such educational experiences? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I  am currently starting my business between here(california) and italy.  I would say since you are in school, look to opportunities within.  Some colleges in italy may help you or help you find resources as as well.
