Paul J. Holloway Prize Competition
About the program · 1 linked sources
The Paul J. Holloway Prize is UNH's premier business-plan competition for undergraduate and graduate students. Students develop a product or service and present a plan to bring it to market. The Paul College page says students from UNH, Plymouth State University, Keene State College, and UNH CPS Online compete for cash prizes totaling $40,000. The same page also says $40K+ is awarded in cash and other prizes annually. Rounds are registration, selection of 20 semifinalist teams, six final teams at the Semifinal Bud Albin Challenge, and a championship round. The prize was established in 1988.
This listing was compiled from public university pages on October 8, 2026. It is unclaimed and has not been confirmed by the school or a program director.
