Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business is accepting applications for their annual New Ideas competition!

The Opportunity: They are searching for undergraduate students dedicated to exploring the different ways business can be a force for good in society. Current students in their freshman, sophomore or junior year are invited to share their proposal for how a company, set of companies or industry sector can have positive impact on a specific community, population, location, industry or the environment at large.

Submission Details: You are welcome to pick existing companies or industries or present an entrepreneurial idea of your own. Proposals should highlight any ways in which your idea will contribute to improving civil discourse and reducing polarization in society.

Winners: Ten grand prize winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Duke’s Fuqua School of Business where they will present their proposals to influential business leaders and participate in a live case study. Winners who apply to and are admitted to one of Fuqua’s one-year master’s programs will also receive partial scholarship funding.
