At Opal Enterprises, we want to encourage young entrepreneurs to follow their dream by awarding an Entrepreneurial Students Scholarship. To participate, send us a written business pitch between 500 and 1,000 words and a short video (up to 60 seconds).

A selected winner of the Entrepreneurial Students Scholarship will receive an award of $2,500.

The Scholarship Committee will select a winning pitch based on proven industry knowledge, the viability of the business plan, and passion for the project.
