The Wes Hall Social Entrepreneurs Award is an annual award that supports five full-time undergraduate students of Caribbean descent at Ryerson University who have a compelling idea for a business venture that will address a social problem, create changes in the community and make a difference to the lives of others. 

 

Recipients will receive $4,000 and throughout the academic year, they will participate in a series of curated workshops about social entrepreneurship and building a social enterprise in the Fall, then be paired with an SVZ startup to gain work experience and mentorship in the Winter.
