Global Student Entrepreneur Awards: Empowering Student Entrepreneurs

Ready to take your startup to the global stage? We’re excited to announce that applications are officially open for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA)! This national competition is a phenomenal opportunity for student entrepreneurs to compete for up to $100,000 in funding while gaining invaluable experience, mentorship, and international exposure.

Participating in GSEA isn’t just about the prize money; it’s about building the entrepreneurial muscle you need to succeed. You’ll sharpen your pitch, gain real-world feedback, and boost your confidence by presenting your business to experienced judges and successful founders.

The Close School Blueprint for Global Success

Drexel alumna Paige DeAngelo knows the power of this competition firsthand. Her entrepreneurial journey began when she identified a core problem—the excessive waste generated by her dance makeup routine—and decided to build the solution herself, leading to her revolutionary refillable, dissolvable mascara tablets.

Paige’s hard work and the support she received during her time at Drexel paid off spectacularly when she won First Place in the GSEA U.S. Final!

Now, it’s your turn to show the world what your idea is made of. If you’re a student entrepreneur with a big idea and the drive to bring it to life, the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards could be your next major launchpad.

Don’t wait! Applications close November 1st.
