Sponsored by Creativity & Innovation at CC, Student Seed Innovation Grants (SSIG) are donor-funded grants of $3,000 - $8,000 designed to empower students to investigate questions and solve real world problems.

When selecting SSIG recipients, an important element that the committee looks for is the applicant's passion to explore the project question, seek a solution, and/or solve a problem. Students do not need to know exactly how a solution will unfold when submitting an application. They will need to demonstrate an authentic desire and drive to achieve the project goals and iterate the project through the various stages of development and execution.
