Salisbury University Perdue School of Business Student Entrepreneurship Competitions – Occurs each Spring. The Student Entrepreneurship Competition is a business plan competition open to any current Salisbury University students but you can have people on your team who are not current SU Students. This 30 plus year competition currently awards $100,000 cash, prizes and services to SU student teams. Students participate from all SU majors not just Perdue Business majors. Community and regional sponsors provide the awards and judge on the day of the competition. It includes 3 great competitions in one day! SU students have a chance to win prize money and business start-up awards to fund a business venture they dream of launching. Whether it’s a product or a service the options are endless! With the assistance of our ecosystem partners, we provide training workshops and mentor support to help our students catch the entrepreneurship spirit and turn their idea into reality. Students are not required to start their business in this competition but many do! Each year a number of these student businesses apply to our Ratcliffe Shore Hatchery Competition and a select group are invited to pitch their business in the Shore Hatchery.
