Don’t forget–to be eligible for an mtvU Grant, your project/idea must be:
- New: This means that the Venture as a whole or the specific initiative that the students want funded must not already be in existence. If the program has already been started, it is ineligible.
- Sustainable: The Venture must be sustainable in terms of membership, leadership, and finances. The Venture should be created with structures in place so it has the potential to outlast its founders. It should not be a short-term project.
- Beneficial: The Venture must benefit the community– either the student community or the community at large.
Also keep in mind:
- You must be a part or full-time student at an mtvU school to apply for a Grant. Not sure if you attend an mtvU school? Click here to find out.
- Ventures can be launched on any topic - the environment, health, education, civic engagement, literacy, children, homelessness, poverty –any topic you choose as long as their is a benefit to the community.
