The UCF College of Business<\/a> 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\u2019s sales competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faculty at UCF\u2019s College of Business never ceases to amaze us,\u201d State Farm Agent Justin Bauknight says. \u201cThey 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 UCF has provided an incredible outlet to share this message.\u201d<\/p>\n

State Farm has been a continual sponsor of the program, entering their sixth year providing scholarships to the competition\u2019s winners.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cScholarships provide an essential source of education funding for many of our students,\u201d says Bill Steiger, associate lecturer of marketing, and instructor and coordinator for the PSP. \u201cThe partnership with State Farm is both educational and an important financial benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s needs. Students recorded their pitch recommending how they would educate their client on how State Farm could best fit their needs.<\/p>\n
