Dear MIT Colleague,

The MIT Sandbox program would like your help spreading the word about applications for our fall cohort. The Sandbox program provides funding (up to $25K), mentorship, and tailored educational experiences for any MIT student who is an aspiring entrepreneur with an idea. We will be holding info sessions to provide interested students with more information and an opportunity to ask questions about the program.
Please forward the following email & flyer to your students.  We will send another announcement in September.
MIT Sandbox is kicking off its application cycle for the Fall of 2018 with two Info Sessions:

  *   July 30th from 4.00 to 5.00pm in Spofford Room (1-236)
  *   September 4th from 12:00 to 1:00pm in 3-370

All students are encouraged to attend and learn about more about Sandbox and entrepreneurship opportunities.  RSVP by email sbox at mit.edu<mailto:sbox at mit.edu>.
Here is a brief overview of the pertinent deadlines associated with applying for Sandbox funding. Please note: Over $5K applications have a more aggressive timeline as students are required to pitch their ideas to a Funding Board meeting taking place on September 14th and will need to prepare for it with the help of Sandbox near the end of August:

  *   Applications for $5-$25K funding levels:
     *   Open:  July 27th
     *   Deadline: August 6th
  *   Applications for up to $5K funding levels:
     *   Open:  August 27th
     *   Deadline:  September 4th


More information is available on our website, sandbox.mit.edu<http://sandbox.mit.edu/>.  If you have any questions, send an email to sandbox at mit.edu<mailto:sandbox at mit.edu> or stop by our office at 1-207.

Thank you,

MIT Sandbox Team
