This summer, YC College will give students a grant to work on their technical projects. We’re calling them The summer fellows grant.
We hope that smart students will encourage them to include their intellectual curiosity this summer instead of working internal Grants. Now is the best time to do so – AI continues to advance the construction limits, and AI tools are rapidly making programmers more fruitful. Spending things in summer buildings on the edge of your programming capacity has never been more than returning.
This grant will be Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google GCP, 000 cash and 000, 000 90,000 credit. Summer Fellows will also be invited to the YCA Startup School from June 16 to 17, and we will also organize certain programs.
- June 15: Kick -off Dinner with other colleagues and guests
- June 18 – 20: We will host you to work with the YC office.
- August 20 – 22: Working from the YC Office again.
- August 22: Offer what you have made on the Demo Day.
Apply for Summer Fellows Grant
We are most interested in financing technical projects using AI in new ways, but we are happy to fund anything that smart programmers feel interesting. We are not expecting projects to be commercial or make money, though it will be fine if they do so.
If it seems interesting, you can Apply here. The next phase will be an online video interview at the end of March, after which we will make our decisions.
The following WiC companies are also offering credit to summer colleagues: fly.io (k 50k), Soup twenty (k 10k), Prepare imitation (k 10k) and Rest (K 3k)
Questions
Who is eligible to apply for a grant?
Any undergraduate computer science or engineering college student, including fresh people outside the United States and students.
Can I apply with a team?
We are giving grants to the people. If you intend to work with someone else, you should apply individually to everyone and let us know in this request that you will work together.
How does a successful project look like?
We will consider anything that smart programmers will affect as a successful project. This can be a developer tool you have made for yourself or contribute to open source. Making something with consumers will be cool but we are not expecting it.
Will there be classes and programs to attend?
No. Our goal is to work freely on your plans and meet some other smart students. The YC partners will be available for advice and we will create an online workplace with you and to talk to other summer colleagues in the summer.
How many grants would you be giving?
We do not know yet. We think it will not be more than 20 and 50.
Will you provide a place to work?
We will set you up for three days in the beginning of June and three days in the end of August for three days for three days. You will need to find your place outside these times.
Do I have to go to the Bay area?
You can work from anywhere, but we will encourage you to go to Bay Area during the summer. AI is rapidly changing how the software has been built and the engineers here see it first. If you really can’t move here, we will blow you up in the WiC office working days.
Can I still do internship work this summer?
We will prefer students to fund their projects full time to work on their project, but we will still consider students to work part -time as they have internships. We think the most expensive students will find it more interesting to work on their project.
Do I need to configure a company to receive a grant?
No, the grants are given to you personally, you do not need a company or a business setup to receive them.
