Each support letter should be no longer than two page, single-spaced. Student nominees must be currently enrolled in the Enterprise Program in order to be considered for an award. 

An awards committee comprised of faculty and staff involved in the Enterprise Program will review nominations and select winners based on how well they support the given award criteria.
