This summer, YC will be giving out grants to college students to work on their own technical projects. We’re calling these the Summer Fellows Grants. We hope this will encourage the smartest students to indulge their intellectual curiosity and work on hard technical things.

@ycombinator can't wait to see what the cracked youth can do with some cash!
@ycombinator let’s goo! @mergedotclub @aridutilh new grant for the guide 👀
@ycombinator if you are applying here, you should apply to @_TheResidency too, to live with other people following their curiosities
@ycombinator Free money to build cool stuff? Now that’s a summer vibe.🔥
@ycombinator It's great to see programs that encourage intellectual curiosity and support innovative projects, @ycombinator!
@ycombinator Love to see opportunities that give builders the space to create. Excited to see what this next generation will build!
@ycombinator can i have the lost of everyone you reject?
@ycombinator Aight im building my minion in sf
@ycombinator Wow, this sounds awesome! 🚀 Perfect excuse to dive into a passion project and maybe even learn something new along the way. Can't wait to see the cool stuff folks come up with this summer! What kind of projects are people thinking about?
@ycombinator Incredibly sad about this. Not all coders are cs grads. People like me would never have gotten the chance.. feels so unfair
@ycombinator This is VERY interesting. Good job guys. I hope there’s an analysis report at the end of the year on how the Grants program fares. To me, it sounds like a brilliant step toward promoting incubator ideas at campuses all over.
@ycombinator I am a 14 y/o in high school am I eligible?
@ycombinator Please expand this program to include high school students. With help from AI, high school students now can take on serious projects. We need to expand the pipeline of innovations.
@ycombinator I hope I’m wrong… but it feels at first glance like YC islacking enough “interesting” deal flow due to them failing to properly tap the global market for startup founders… so they are trying to entrench themselves by building a “pre-startup” network to make their live easier
@ycombinator Full circle. Wasn’t YC originally called the Summer Founders Program and targeted toward college students?
@ycombinator @yacineMTB @_Stocko_ hey builders, share this with your group.
@ycombinator very cool, wish this program existed while i was in university
@ycombinator Why just college students? What about people who still have creative flow past college? Why do they get looked over?
@ycombinator great time for students to dive into projects. automating social media can really boost engagement and save time.
@ycombinator @AdamDraper they're taking a leave out of the Boost Fellows book
