Pilot project grants are designed to support individuals and groups of students who wish to link their academics with action in a small scale or short term project with its own mission, goals, and objectives. Such projects could include feasibility studies; assessment of community assets, interests, and needs; prototyping or testing a new product, service, or program etc. in the US or elsewhere in the world. Awards can be up to $6000 for the summer. This opportunity is open to first-years, sophomores, and juniors — both individuals and teams of students can apply.
