The Hult Prize Challenge is a year-long social entrepreneurship competition in which over 100,000 young people in 120+ countries work to create high-impact startups that address the annual Call to Action in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Finalists pitch their businesses to a panel of expert judges, and the winning team receives $1M USD in funding to make their idea a reality.

There is a prize pool of $10,000 at the UMass level, with the potential to move on and win $1M in the global competition.

This competition takes place during the fall semester.
