We’re extremely excited to announce a brand new initiative designed to enhance collaboration between Push Protocol and university students!
Universities are at the forefront of innovation, and we’re launching a grant program called Back2School w/ Push to empower students to build, learn, and educate others on cutting-edge web3 development.
As such, eligible event for the Push Back2School grants include:
- Interested university students or tech clubs
- University based web3 workshops
- University based web3 hackathons
- University based community/web3 educational activities
- And any other ideas you want to apply for! In this way, the Back2School grants are available to virtually any type of activity or event that involves building, educating, and advocating web3.
The program is open to students from all academic levels and backgrounds, and grants will be awarded based on the scope of events, complexity, potential impact, and localization. Grant recipients will have access to financial support, mentorship and guidance, resources and infrastructure, recognition and visibility from the Push Protocol team.
Our goals:​
- Support student-led web3 projects: We want to empower students to turn their ideas into tangible projects using blockchain technology.
- Advance research and development: We want to support students’ research efforts in areas related to blockchain technology.
- Promote community engagement: We want to encourage students to build local interest and community while also engaging with the broader web3 community.
Our compromise:​
- Financial support: Grants are available to support student-led events. Amounts will vary based on the scope of the event, complexity, potential impact and localization.
- Mentorship and guidance: Grant recipients will have access to experienced mentors from the Push Protocol team.
- Resources and infrastructure: Grant recipients will have access to Push Protocol’s resources, development tools, and testing environments.
