Eligibility Criteria

• Teams are limited to a maximum of four (4) members.
• All team members must be currently enrolled in a graduate program at the time of the prospectus submission. Undergraduate students are not eligible.
• Your team may include members from different graduate schools.
• All ideas must be the original ideas of the team members.

Why Participate?

There are many competitions that focus on social entrepreneurship or early-stage investments. The Kellogg-Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge is different in that it focuses on scalable solutions created by finance. The Sustainable Investing Challenge asks you to consider finance and investment tools as a means to create impact on their own, and is one of the few ways for students to gain experience and get feedback crafting real proposals that fit into this critical and growing field. If you are interested in making finance a force for good, or using finance to leverage impact, this is the competition for you.
