Relationships have been developed over the past year between EMERGE participants, and cohort members have been meeting virtually outside of the EMERGE sessions. We are offering funding to extend these interactions to in-person campus visits. This would enable EMERGE participants to view campus facilities and have in depth discussions. This funding is also available to visit any KEEN partner campus, as these are established programs that are already incorporating entrepreneurial minded learning into their curricula.

Grant amount: $1000

Travel must occur during: May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023

Travel grant application deadline: Applications will be considered as they are received until funding is spent

Required: After travel is completed, selected participants will submit a report or publish a KEEN card that describes the impact of the visit on the development of their program, including a section on the incorporation of EML into their new program. 

To apply, use this application template. Applications are emailed to EMERGE@unc.edu with the subject Campus Visit Grant Application – Your institution.
