State System Student Business Plan Competition

WCU junior Salih Salaam, an accounting major from Easton, landed the $10,000 top prize in the eighth annual Student Business Plan Competition sponsored by Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education.

His plan, “Tutors 4 University Students,” connects college students with tutors “whenever” and “wherever” they need them. The service matches students with tutors in the subjects where they need help “at a price point affordable by the student and attractive to the qualified tutors.”

Salaam bested finalists from Millersville and Shippensburg. WCU students William Todd and Matthew Heilman were also finalists.
