School Enterprise Challenge for Students 2015 – $50,000 in Cash Prizes

Registration is now open for the 2015 School
Enterprise Challenge, a student-led, business
start-up competition for schools around the
world. The School Enterprise Challenge helps
students develop skills they need to succeed in
work and in life. The competition is designed to
help young people to become socially
responsible entrepreneurs, who seek not just to
make a profit, but also think about their planet
and the people around them.

This free competition guides and supports
teachers and students to set up real school
businesses. Students develop essential skills in
business and entrepreneurship in a practical, fun
and innovative way. The competition helps
schools generate extra income for their school,
