The winners are Nicole Schreiber of University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, who received the $1,000 first-place award, and Jessica Cossairt of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, who received the $500 second-place award.

The winning essays along with other selections are published on the site. Judging of winners is based on the creativity, thoughtfulness and practicality of essays.
In Nicole Schreiber's winning essay she points out that school is a very small part of a business student's education. She offers as example her joining clubs, including Model United Nations, unrelated to her finance concentration, which led to her broadening her circle of friends and gave her experiences that were applicable to her classes. Nicole is styding for a Bachelor in Business Administration at UW.
Runner-up Jessica Cossairt speaks to how quickly time and opportunities, such as internships and various school programs, can get away from students. She points out the preparation and organization needed to take full advantage of the many possibilities that may be available. Jessica is currently pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Marketing at Ball State.
The winning essay entries, as well as a summary of useful tips offered by entrants, are published in BrainTrack's Business Student Stories section.
