The Houston Independent School District, Houston Community College and University of Houston-Downtown are partners in the program, which is funded by a $25,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase.
Students are required to put together a business plan to compete for $2,000 in seed money. And this year, Harris hopes, the top winner will get extra help starting a business, including office space and a mentor.
