Student Business of the Year
Established in 1959, this prestigious award was presented by the Babson College Alumni Association in recognition of an undergraduate student’s outstanding commitment to launching and operating a successful enterprise while pursuing an education.
Selection is based on initiative, character, originality, persistence and success, with emphasis on the learning experience. Winners exemplify Babson’s entrepreneurial tradition.
In 2013, the Student Business of the Year Award merged with the undergraduate B.E.T.A. Challenge.
