NFTE

Starting fall 2006, SAGE has entered into a partnership with the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) (http://www.nfte.com/). The purpose of the partnership is to encourage the creation of a new entrepreneurship venture by individual members of a SAGE team (note: the venture is limited to one (or a partnership of two) individual(s) on a SAGE team; an eligible high school can submit more than one entry for this competition.

Any SAGE student in the United States (or a team of no more than two students) who meets the following criteria will be given an all-expense trip to New York City in October 2007 to participate in the NFTE National Business Plan Competition. To be eligible, the student must:

• Complete NFTE’s written and PowerPoint business plan
• Be under the direction of a NFTE Certified Teacher using NFTE Curriculum
• Come from a Title I school, or a school located in a low-income district
