We may pay obscene amounts of money to attend NYU, but it’s hard to argue that NYU doesn’t shell out money to people who look for it. Stern’s Social Venture Competition and the Be A Changemaker Challenge provide $100,000 and $20,000 respectively to outstanding social entrepreneurs; the Reynolds Program in Social Entrepreneurship offers $40,000 and internship support to worthy undergrads; and the Dean’s Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF) will pay CAS undergrads up to $1,000 for just about anything (and you can receive it an unlimited number of times). In line with these and NYU’s $20 million Venture Fund, Stern has created a $75,000 Technology Venture Competition, open to all the techies out there who need seed money to start up the next Diaspora*. The competition is part of Stern’s Entrepreneurship Challenge, which supports more typical business ventures, social entrepreneurship and now tech ventures all from NYU students, faculty and researchers.
