Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition

Since 1998, the Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition has invited Seattle University students and alumni to pitch new ventures, including for-profit, nonprofit, corporate, and social-enterprise ideas. Teams led by students and alumni advance through three rounds. The page says the grand prize is $20,000.

A $20,000 grand prize is stated. The page describes prize money and exposure to investors. It does not say the university takes equity. The $20,000 figure is the grand prize, not a confirmed total purse.

Point-in-time notes from official pages observed on 2026-10-08. Deadlines, prize amounts, and eligibility can change. This record is not a school-verified or director-verified listing.
