The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) is the premier global competition for students who own and operate a business while attending college or university. The competition helps budding entrepreneurs unlock their full potential as they embark on their entrepreneurial journeys and build their ventures. Nominees compete against their peers from around the world in a series of local and national competitions in the hope of qualifying for the Global Finals.

During the event, they are able to establish life-changing connections and engage in peer-to-peer learning. All nominees must be enrolled in an undergraduate programme at a recognized college or university, own a business that has been operational for a minimum of six consecutive months, and be principally responsible for the operation of the company at the time of the application.
