The Michigan Colleges Alliance (MCA) is once again hosting the Campus Community Challenge. This challenge pairs student teams with community non-profit organizations to solve community challenges in innovative ways.
Teams of up to four students (recommended), led by a faculty adviser, will:
- Complete seven design thinking sprints facilitated by the Henry Ford Learning Institute.
- Will be paired with a community partner.
- Pitch their idea to a panel of judges.
- Be eligible to earn up to $10,000 in scholarships per team.
- Earn stipends for successful completion of the program.
This opportunity is open to all Detroit Mercy students. Last year, two Detroit Mercy teams earned a combined total of $12,000 through the competition and are continuing on to the Ford Motor Company Fund national competition.
The deadline is Friday, Oct. 21.
