The 麻豆原创 College of Business is proud to announce State Farm has renewed its funding of scholarships for students in the national championship-winning Professional Selling Program (PSP) who compete in the program鈥檚 sales competitions.
鈥淭he faculty at 麻豆原创鈥檚 College of Business never ceases to amaze us,鈥� State Farm Agent Justin Bauknight says. 鈥淭hey understand our passion and work tirelessly to give us the opportunity to inspire the next generation with our mission. We believe the best way to realize your dreams is to first help others realize their own, and 麻豆原创 has provided an incredible outlet to share this message.鈥�
State Farm has been a continual sponsor of the program, entering their sixth year providing scholarships to the competition鈥檚 winners.
The PSP is a nationally-recognized program that aims to prepare its students to become future sales leaders in all selling arenas. The program has won nine national championships in its history, including most recently in the spring.
鈥淪cholarships provide an essential source of education funding for many of our students,鈥� says Bill Steiger, associate lecturer of marketing, and instructor and coordinator for the PSP. 鈥淭he partnership with State Farm is both educational and an important financial benefit.鈥�
Last month, State Farm granted scholarships to five PSP students who were selected from the cohort of 53 students. They were asked to determine what State Farm products would best meet a hypothetical client鈥檚 needs. Students recorded their pitch recommending how they would educate their client on how State Farm could best fit their needs.
