HKEC-funded travel grants allow undergraduate and graduate students to participate in national and international business startup competitions and share their vision with the world.
Grant applications must be submitted by the last day of the month in order to receive a grant by the 15th of the following month. Only one $750 travel grant will be awarded per startup per year. All current, UT Austin undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply.
Teams must publish social media marketing in partnership with the HKEC while using grant funding.
"Last year, I traveled to San Francisco to attend the annual tech and entrepreneurship conference, AfroTech. The travel grant allowed me to join thousands of Black engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders gather to talk about tech, and network with other entrepreneurs."
