Companies and not-for-profit organizations – are you prioritizing innovation as you jockey for growth in an increasingly competitive environment? Do you have the right tools? Do you have the resources you need? Are you using those resources in the most efficient way?
Mitacs has you covered!
A $10K or $15K award enables the brightest students – from college students to undergrads, grads, postdocs, and even recent grads – to undertake a collaborative internship with businesses or eligible not-for-profit organizations (NFPs). The potential is limitless, whether it’s streamlining processes, commercializing your technology, developing new business models, improving public services or addressing social or environmental issues – students apply their technical expertise to business challenges to support an organization's innovation activities. The award is open to students across all disciplines, from law to STEM to social sciences and humanities.
- $10K for a four-month project: your contribution is only $5K
- $15K for a four-month project: you pay only $7.5K. Of the $15K, the participants can use up to $5K toward specified project costs or to top-up the student stipend
- Apply any time for multiple projects
- Open to all businesses and eligible not-for-profit organizations
