<div class="gmail_quote">Hey folks, the SMART center in Singapore is offering pre-company student grants for digital game and web app development. The award goes up to US$50K for MIT student applications. If you've got an idea and a team of your own that you'd like to develop a little further, this is a pretty good opportunity.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">A note for folks who may have looked at this grant before: because MIT takes 10% overhead, technically the grant can provide up to US$55K, so that there's actually $50K left for real expenses. (Assuming, of course, that your proposed budget actually has $50K of line items.) </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Also, MIT will end up as a owner of a portion of the IP you create using their funds, but if you later decide to start a company or license the game/app to another company, MIT can license those rights back to you. It's an option.</div>
