Student Mini Grants Program
Deadline Date: April 15, 2024
Donor Name: Algalita
Grant Size: $1000 to $10,000
Mini-Grants are now available to students looking for financial support for their personal education, school and community projects, internships, networking events, etc. connected to addressing the plastic crisis.
What’s a mini-grant?
- Mini-grants range from $300 – $2000, and must be applied to your education, projects, or other efforts related to addressing the plastic problem. If you are selected as a grantee, you’ll need to report back to them by the end of the grant period sharing what you’ve accomplished. This is not a loan, so the money is yours to keep; you won’t need to pay it back.
- In 2024, they will award a total of $15,000 USD through this program!
- Each winner will also receive:
- Social media coverage on Algalita’s social media channels.
- The opportunity to contribute to a blog post on the Wayfinder Society website.
