Creativity, 社区 and Cultural Enrichment Grants
The world we live in is information-rich and constantly changing. And it’s how you look at that world—as well as how you look at and solve problems—that really determines your success.
Converse’s Creativity, 社区, and Cultural Enrichment Grants (C3 Grants) celebrate the creative solutions that result from thinking in new ways and across disciplines, backgrounds and cultures. 学生, faculty and 工作人员 are encouraged to work together to design unexpected solutions and discover unconventional partnerships. The grants range from $500 to $5,000 each and are awarded to members of the Converse community who come up with ways to stretch the boundaries of what we know, who search for new and 有趣的 ways to interact with their fellow humans, and who use their energies for the broadest possible benefit.
