The Colopy Accelerator Grant Program
The Colopy Accelerator Grant Program at NCSSM is a key initiative within the Colopy Family Entrepreneurship Program, designed to empower students by providing microgrants that support their entrepreneurial ventures. These grants aim to nurture innovation by offering seed funding for student-led projects, particularly those originating from courses, research pursuits, and events like hackathons or other experiential learning opportunities. By enabling students to take their ideas from concept to execution, the program fosters practical problem-solving, real-world business skills, and impactful project development. The Colopy Accelerator Grants also connect recipients with mentorship and resources to ensure their ventures are sustainable and aligned with entrepreneurial best practices.
