Global Business Brigades (GBB)
The Global Business Brigades (GBB) is a socially conscious network of business students who bring their skills and a passion for change to developing communities around the world. UCF's GBB chapter was the first, and currently the only, GBB in the state of Florida. GBB is a student-led community outreach program that empowers business students with the material, know-how and support to assess and deliver sustainable micro-enterprise solutions to impoverished villages.

Young Entrepreneur Scholar (YES) Scholarship Program
UCF has been awarded a $600,000 scholarship by the National Science Foundation entitled ‘Young Entrepreneur and Scholar (YES) Scholarship Program’. The YES Program is designed to produce a network of well-educated students who are pursuing B.S. degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Forensic Science, Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular and Micro Biology, Statistics, and Math. The YES scholars will be exposed to educational opportunities that will advance their knowledge and expertise far beyond the typical curriculum. The YES program provides 24 scholarships a year (typically of $5,000 each) to junior and senior EXCEL students who qualify.
College DECA
College DECA is a great opportunity for students interested in entrepreneurship to participate in competitive events against other students from all over the world. The prepared Entrepreneurship Event is an example of one opportunity, in which students come with developed business plans and present their idea in front of a panel of judges. An opportunity at the international level is the Entrepreneurship Challenge, where interested students find out the topic of the challenge and have two days to create a new business concept based on that challenge.
