The Conrad School would like to extend our gratitude to the Overbeeke family as we introduce the newest award in support of undergraduate entrepreneurs.
The Overbeeke Family Entrepreneurship Excellence Award is presented to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in any year in the Faculty of Engineering who is pursuing an Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) opportunity. Selection is based on the development of an outstanding presentation, business plan review, clarity of business description and preparedness to lead a venture or social enterprise as demonstrated through the beginning of term pitch competition. One scholarship of up to $5,000 will be awarded each term between Spring 2022 and through to Fall 2024.
We are proud to introduce the inaugural winner!
