Students who received IDEA Grant funding displayed and explained their projects to their peers and to the public at the UConn IDEA Grant Year-end Showcase at the Wilbur Cross South Reading Room on April 19.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0IDEA Grants program<\/a>\u00a0is designed to provide undergraduates in any major a stipend of up to $4,000 to develop innovative, creative, and personally meaningful projects. While the ideas don\u2019t have to be tied to a major or minor field of study, they do need to be guided by students\u2019 academic goals and plans for the future.<\/p>\n

The projects, which are student-designed and student-led, include creative endeavors, community service initiatives, entrepreneurial ventures, research projects, and other original and innovative projects.<\/p>\n

The program accepts applications from both individuals and groups, and is open to UConn undergraduates at all campuses.<\/p>\n
