These mini-grants are available to students looking for financial support for their personal education, school and community projects, internships, networking events, etc. connected to addressing the plastic crisis.
Mini-grants range from $300-$2,000, and must be applied to your education, projects, or other efforts related to addressing the plastic problem. If you are selected as a grantee, you’ll need to report back to the organisers by the end of the grant period sharing what you’ve accomplished.
