We are so pleased that your school has the opportunity to participate in The Cupcake Factory Project sponsored by the Students in Free Enterprise organization at Southwest Texas State University. Specifically, your child will create, run, and close a business. Students will buy stock certificates to partially finance the purchase of the ingredients for the cupcakes and the rest of the funds will be borrowed from a local bank. The students will love the attention and our SIFE team can also benefit during international competition. We will be very pleased to help in any way.
