Global Student Entrepreneur Awards

The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) program is the premiere award for undergraduate students that own and run businesses while attending a college or university. Nominees compete against their peers by presenting their businesses to a panel of judges. The judges then complete the student entrepreneur evaluations, provide feedback to the participating students and determine the regional winner(s).

Student entrepreneurs compete through local, regional or virtual competitions to win their shot at going head to head against the best student entrepreneurs in the world at the Global Finals in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
