Applications Open for Jacobs Institute Innovation Catalysts Student Grant Program
If you would like to learn more about the Jacobs Institute Innovation Catalysts grant program, join us for our first info session on August 17, from 5–6 pm. Join here
The Innovation Catalysts fund student ideas and projects with up to $2000 of funding and other support. We welcome a wide range of projects at the intersection of design and technological innovation. If you've been dreaming up a new project or would like to continue working on a recent idea, learn more about the resources available to you through the grant.
All Berkeley students are eligible. Applications for the fall cohort are due Sunday, August 29th at 11:59 pm. The selection committee will cultivate a grant cohort that represents the diversity of the Berkeley community and fosters an inclusive design community; we encourage students from underrepresented or uncommon backgrounds to apply.
2021–2022 Jacobs Student Advisory Board Application
The Jacobs Institute Student Advisory Board (SAB) helps to ensure that the opinions, needs, and interests of the student community are taken into account during strategic planning and program development. Though the Jacobs Institute may not be able to act upon all of the suggestions offered by the SAB, its input will be taken seriously. SAB members should be invested in the design community at Berkeley and represent diverse perspectives from the student community.
The application to join the 2021-2022 Jacobs Student Advisory Board is now open and submissions are due by Monday, September 6th. For more details about the Jacobs SAB and to access the application, go here. Contact Amy Dinh (amy...@berkeley.edu) if you have questions.
