Live It Fund
Transform ideas into action and create change for good
Live It Fund
Live It Fund supports students in activating the change they wish to see in the world. Students are provided funding and hands-on support in developing, testing, and piloting innovative solutions to complex problems they have identified on campus, in community, and across the globe.
The Live It Fund provides up to $2,000 in J-Term project funding and more in depth support over the summer, including a $6,347.50 stipend and $500 in project funding. Students participate in structured programming (6 week J-term and/or 10 week summer) to help refine and realize their project ideas alongside a cohort of fellow changemakers. Visualize the change you hope to see and Live It!
