An Announcement from The University of The Arctic
The UArctic Entrepreneurship Fund
Applications for The Uarctic Entrepreneurship Fund are accepted until October 27 2023.
Those interested can attend a Q&A session on September 27 at 15:00 UTC (12:00 ADT). To register, click here.
To truly solve the challenges facing the Arctic, and thus the world, UArctic is committed to supporting the development of northern entrepreneurs and providing resources to help advance local ideas. The UArctic Entrepreneurship Fund (click here) is a new initiative that complements existing, mature prize funds with a seed-fund program, encouraging innovation and solutions on a local level.
The fund is open to any individual with an incubator-stage product or service that directly benefits the Arctic environment or Arctic communities and has a positive, demonstrable impact on the Arctic. We especially encourage applications from Arctic Indigenous and/or northern-based entrepreneurs. Expected grant disbursement amounts are in the range of $2,000 to $5,000 USD, though exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
The pilot call for The UArctic Entrepreneurship Fund is open until October 27, 2023.
Visit The UArctic Entrepreneurship Fund webpages for the full application criteria and list of application documents, more information about the fund, and benefits and expectations for the awardees.
If you have any questions, email the Global Learning Office (Miyuki.arai@smu.ca) or entrepreneurship@uarctic.org.
Edified Energiser Grants 2022
The 2022 Edified Energiser Grant applications are closing in 3 weeks!
At Edified, we believe education can transform lives. We also believe that powerful change can be led by individuals with passion and commitment. That’s why, we created the Edified Energiser Grants (EEGs) to energise people working to improve education around the world.
EEGs are worth AU $5,000 each and are awarded to individuals or groups with a compelling plan to improve education for their community. The plan could be small, like becoming a teacher in your community. It could be a grand plan, like creating a new EdTech platform to bring free education to the world. Or anything in between.
What’s important is that the plan is compelling and that the grant applicants have the vision and capability to make it happen. Take a look at the previous winners:
This year we are offering five grants!
We’re grateful to the following organisations that have joined us in making the Edified Energiser Grants possible:
EEGs are open to students or recent graduates from an Australian, New Zealand, UK, Canadian, Irish or European Higher Education, Vocational or Language institution. These regions were chosen because that's where our clients are.
This includes both domestic and international students of any nationality and from any study mode, including part-time, online and offshore campuses. The project can be delivered in any country in the world.
