We are excited to announce the launch of the new Tech for Social Good program at UC Santa Cruz, cosponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation. The program will provide competitive funding for student research projects and events, encouraging students across all campus divisions to participate and form cross-disciplinary teams.
The Tech for Social Good program supports student-led learning and technology development for healthy, sustainable, connected, and equitable livelihoods in the United States and abroad. Join us for an information and matchmaking session for students on Tuesday, October 1, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Engineering 2, Room 180.
The program is open to teams of graduate and undergraduate students and has two competitive tracks, one to support technology development and another to support student-led events on campus. Through the technology track, students can apply for funding of $500 to $5,000 for tech-focused projects that promote social good by supporting healthy, sustainable, prosperous, and equitable livelihoods in the United States and abroad.
The events track will provide between $200 and $1,000 for individual students, student organizations, or student groups at UC Santa Cruz to develop events or programming that improve and support technological innovations that support healthy, sustainable, and connected communities.
