No, both team members must agree on a single preferred program destination—either ABC Silicon Valley or ABC Toronto. Your team will be evaluated based on your chosen preference.

The scholarship includes tuition fee, on-campus housing, breakfast, welcome package, lectures, seminars, workshops, course materials, networking opportunities, company visits, certificate of completion, 24/7 assistance from the ABC Team, exclusive access to the ABC Alumni network, possibility of becoming part of the ABC Team, and organized day trip to San Francisco or Niagara Falls (depending on the location). Admission Fee, airfare, and personal expenses are not included.

A panel of judges—comprising business professionals and entrepreneurs—will evaluate submissions based on the following criteria:

  • Creativity and Innovation: Is the idea original and creative?
  • Market Potential and Scalability: Does the solution address a market demand, and can it grow?
  • Feasibility and Practicality: Is the business model realistic and executable?

The winning teams will be announced on March 31, 2025. One team will be awarded the scholarship for ABC Silicon Valley and another for ABC Toronto.
