Description of Award
The future of organizations like USASBE is dependent on the contributions / innovations of new member institutions (nascent entrepreneurship programs) that breathe vigor into programming. In order to incent new members, this award was created to recognize institutions or programs that have been in existence for three years or less (as measured from January 1), or that have gone through a major revision during the same time period.  This award may be given each year for an exemplary emerging program that reflects innovation, quality, potential viability, comprehensiveness, depth of support, sustainability, and impact.
