Call for Application from GSEA Nepal

Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) is the premier global competition for students who own and operate a for-profit business while attending college or university. Nominees compete against their peers from around the world in a series of local and/or national competitions in hopes to qualify for GSEA Finals. Founded in 1998 by Saint Louis University, GSEA is now an Entrepreneurs’ Organization program.

How Does The GSEA Help Student Business Owners?

• Feedback,Mentorship and Access to successful entrepreneurs.
• Refined elevator pitches. Going head to head with other business owners and answering tough questions about their business to the judges helps competitors improve their pitch skills and enhance their ability to communicate the value proposition of their business.
• Expanded networks. Competitors will meet other student entrepreneurs from around the world, as well as Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) members and honored guests.
• Media exposure. Competitors will receive local and national media attention for themselves and their business.
