UConn's Digital Frontiers Initiative is working to bring together Innovate Labs
(Formerly OPIM Innovate) and the cutting edge research and continuing education
programs of the CT Information Technology Institute. This year we are looking to
grow our scholarship programs to support students who are working on meaningful
projects or wanting to participate in immersive programming like studying
abroad.  

For example, this upcoming year the Initiative is working on a study abroad
program where students will get to travel to Australia / New Zealand to learn
about Emerging Technologies on a global scale. This is an example of one of the
once in a lifetime opportunities that the Initiative is working on. We need your
help to make sure these incredible opportunities are available to students no
matter background or financial situation. Join us in helping the next
generation  of leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
