Unique business plan leads student to scholarship
Kyle Flodder, a senior accounting, finance and marketing major, received a $750 scholarship and was named the second runner-up of the Golden Key Business Achievement Award.

He was one of three applicants from 300 participating universities worldwide that received this awardThe award was given to students who created a unique business plan to fulfill a community need not currently met, Flodder said.

He said he plans to re-invest the scholarship money into his business.

Flodder’s business, “Microsoft Office User Class,” caters to those who need to take the Microsoft Office User Specialist Exam. Although a difficult exam, he said, his students have a 85 percent passing rate. Flodder offers his class to students and staff ofthe M.J. Neeley School of Business.

“The idea (for the award) was to create a theory to make into reality,” Flodder said. “Since I already started my business I had a leg up on the competition.”
