Every year, Entrepreneurship at Cornell honors one Cornell student business as the Student Business of the Year at a lunch on campus during the annual Entrepreneurship at Cornell Celebration in April.

Emphasis is on the business and the team behind it, not just on the entrepreneur.  The award will recognize commitment to developing and operating a successful business while pursuing an education. 

The award will be made to the business. The cash prize is $5,000.

The Award will be determined by a Selection Committee:

● The Selection Committee will first screen the nominated businesses to assure that they meet qualification requirements.

● The Selection Committee will then have a finalist group of businesses present in person; a decision on winner will then be announced.
