These small grants are offered to students who need financial assistance for their individual education, school, and community initiatives, internships, networking events, and other endeavors related to combating the plastic crisis.
The grants range in value from $300 to $2000 and must be used towards educational pursuits, projects, or activities focused on addressing the plastic issue. If you are chosen as a grant recipient, you will be required to provide a report at the end of the grant period detailing your achievements. It’s important to note that these grants are not loans, meaning you do not have to repay the money.
