About the SVC

The Vision

The Brigham Young University Social Venture Competition (SVC) is a competition where students campus-wide share their interest in local, national, or global social issues. To compete and win more than $50,000, students submit a business plan that meets a social need in areas such as:

  • Health care
  • Poverty
  • Education
  • Energy
  • Agriculture
  • The environment

Students work with faculty, practitioners, and professionals to innovate, build, and inspire as they develop and implement venture plans.
