Biology majors Krista Pipho '18 and Isaac Wong '19 compete for the Hult Prize in Singapore

Four student teams representing the College and the Simon Business School will compete this month in regional semifinals for the Hult Prize, the world’s largest social entrepreneurship contest.

First prize is $1 million in seed capital, presented by former president Bill Clinton at the United Nations in September.

Last year, four University international students comprised one of the final eight teams out of more than 50,000 applicants. This year, more than 100,000 teams applied worldwide.
