Can I compete in the Imagine Cup if I recently graduated from school or am working as a graduate student?
Yes, you are eligible to compete if you meet the applicable age requirements, and you enrolled as a student at any time between January 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010. Additionally, the school at which you are enrolled must be an accredited educational institution that grants high-school or college/university (or equivalent) degrees. Graduate and PhD students are also able to compete, however they may not use unpublished research.
