Business Support Award

Last updated: November 7th, 2024

Program Types

Our MBA graduates with existing businesses have the opportunity to participate in the Agora Business Support Award. Interested students will pitch their business ideas to their classmates at the beginning of the Capstone module. Students will vote on the best 3 projects for the Business Support Award consideration. Selected projects will undergo a feasibility study during the 6-week period of the Capstone module. At the end of the module, the Capstone Instructor and the project mentors will present their findings and decide on which of the projects, if any, warrant award funding.
