About this program
One of the largest student competitions in the world, in which teams develop a venture addressing a major global challenge and compete through campus, regional and global rounds. Dartmouth participation runs through SEID.
The Hult Prize rewards ambition and execution. Teams that go far build something concrete enough to survive scrutiny from judges who have funded and scaled real ventures — and the prize money is real seed funding, not a trophy.
