Well, here's a program and opportunity that caters to a different demographic: high schoolers. Hop on the BUS! Business Plan competition is in its seventh year, and is open to individual students or teams of up to four students.
Hop on the
BUS is open to any high school-aged student from public school, private school,
home school, 4-H, after-school program, or anywhere else. Individual students
or teams may register for the competition and

The
Hop on the BUS! Business Plan Competition is a great way to explore ideas and
develop them into a business plan. The competition can be an integral part of
any high school course, club or afterschool activity to nurture an
entrepreneurial spirit. The competition consists of three rounds that end March

complete a video pitch of their business plan to a panel of judges. The top
three finalists are recognized for their business plan and video pitch.
