The grant program invites students from all accredited colleges and universities to submit an original essay outlining a problem they are passionate about solving through a business venture. The initiative reflects Arman Gabaee's belief that fostering creative problem-solving at the undergraduate level is essential for cultivating the next generation of business leaders.

"Encouraging students to think entrepreneurially about real-world challenges is an investment in our collective future," said Arman Gabaee. "This grant is designed to recognize those with the clarity of purpose and innovative spirit needed to build ventures that not only succeed commercially but also contribute positively to their communities and industries."
