The Purdue Burton D. Morgan Business Model Competition is the Indiana-distinct startup listing currently in Bootstrap Directory under this filter, with awards historically up to $100,000 for qualifying student/affiliate teams. Confirm current eligibility, track deadlines, and affiliation rules on the Burton D. Morgan Center site.
For debt and state credit support, see Indiana SSBCI programs via IEDC on the Indiana business loans hub. Those are debt instruments, not grants, and are listed separately under business loans.
If you are Purdue-affiliated or otherwise eligible for Burton D. Morgan, prioritize that competition. Otherwise compare national equity-free grants, SBIR-related paths, and accelerators that include national coverage for Indiana founders — and verify location rules on each source page.
Listings show source/application URLs and last-verified dates where available. The Indiana-only competition row was last verified in August 2026; treat competition cycles as seasonal and confirm on the university page.
