Forbes Entrepreneurial Competition: Application Deadline

Full-time undergraduate engineering or applied sciences students at the University of Rochester are eligible to compete in the Forbes Entrepreneurial Competition by submitting an online application. The Charles and Janet Forbes ’40 Entrepreneurial Competition encourages undergraduate engineering students to consider the commercial potential of topics or processes they are studying. Individually or in teams (at least half of a team’s members must have declared majors within the Hajim School), students compete by submitting a proposal for a manufacturing or technical business (often based on senior design projects). A small number of applicants are invited to make oral presentations to a judging panel. The presentation event takes place in late April or early May. The first-place cash prize totals $5,000.

Students can apply online until April 18 (by 12:00 pm).

Please contact the Ain Center with any questions about the application process.
