Don't miss the opportunity to receive up to $10,000 to turn ideas into real-world impact.

The Oregon Innovation Challenge (OIC) is a program for University of Oregon students and faculty of all backgrounds to build projects with support from mentors and peers.

This is more of a community than a competition. Everyone involved understands how hard it is to start something and wants to see others succeed. No matter age or experience level, OIC is designed to help participants take their next step. Many participants are doing this for the first time.

• As many strong projects as possible will be funded. Currently, there is ~$130,000 available, with ongoing efforts to raise more.
• Participants work on what matters to them. Mentors provide feedback and guidance, but all project decisions remain with the team.
• All stages are welcome—from early ideas to active ventures.
• Projects can be solo or team-based, and teams can form during the program.
• The time commitment is manageable, and participation is flexible. This is not a class—there are no grades, and anyone can step away at any time with no penalty.

Applications take about two minutes to complete, and we encourage submitting by Friday, January 23 at 11:59 p.m. so you can join us for the kickoff brunch workshop on Sunday, January 25. However, you are welcome to join us at any time! Submissions can be an existing project, a brand-new idea, or even just a problem worth solving. A polished plan is not required, and funding decisions are not based on the initial submission.

Submit your application online and get started!

Then, join us for an upcoming workshop date!
