About the Scholarship

Pirates Pitch is a business pitch competition rather than a standing scholarship, and Seton Hall attaches substantial money to it: $2,500 cash and a $10,000 scholarship for first place, with every finalist taking $4,000.

It is open to students from their tenth year of secondary school onward, so it can be entered well before applying, and the university names international students among those eligible.

The scholarship half only pays if you then enrol. Note that the university's scholarships hub still summarises the award as up to $2,000, a figure its own competition page contradicts.

What It Covers

  • Tuition
  • Other

First place takes a $2,500 cash prize plus a $10,000 scholarship paid at $2,500 a year; second place $1,000 cash plus $6,000 at $1,500 a year; all other finalists $4,000 at $1,000 a year. An audience choice award pays $300. The university's scholarships hub still summarises this as up to $2,000, which its own prose and the competition page both contradict.

Eligibility

Open to secondary school students in their tenth, eleventh or twelfth year with a grade average of 3.0 or higher. The scholarship is provided on admission to the university.

Eligible Countries

The university states this goes to incoming first-year students and incoming international first-year students who win the competition.
