Student and faculty entrepreneurs have until April 14 to apply for the first round of funding from the University System of Maryland's new $25 million venture fund.

USM's Board of Regents approved a plan last year to invest $10 million over four years in startups developed by professors, students and alumni from all 12 state institutions. Another $15 million in funds will come from outside investors and venture capitalists, collectively forming the Maryland Momentum Fund.
