[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] Fwd: SMART Student Explorer Grant Call

[Philip Tan]

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.

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.)

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.

Feel free to forward this email around!
