New Venture Plan Competition
The New Venture Competition is an important entrepreneurial activity and a great experiential learning tool for the participants. Rollins students, faculty, staff and alumni are eligible to compete. Participants will submit a written business plan with selected plans being chosen to do an oral presentation in a semi-final round. From there, the finalists, chosen from all applicants by a distinguished panel of local entrepreneurial-minded businessmen, will present their plan to an audience comprised of their peers as well as members of the business community, including potential investors. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. This competition is an annual event.

Distinguished Student Entrepreneurship Award
The Distinguished Student Entrepreneur Award recognizes students whose involvement in entrepreneurial activities indicate a strong interest in the field. Students earn points by attending activities and events sponsored by the Center and other organizations. If a student participates in enough events and activities to earn 21 points, we recognize the interest and involvement by awarding him/her this award. One of the benefits of participating in this program is that the Center puts together all award winners and presents them to fast-growing entrepreneurial-minded firms as desirable hires.

The Distinguished Student Entrepreneur program is available for sponsoring. The sponsoring firm will be recognized throughout the year for supporting and encouraging student participation in entrepreneurial events. They will be the keynote speaker at the banquet awarding these students, and receive strong PR support for this award.
