C-MAPP Funding Opportunities 2025-26
What will C-MAPP fund? Student Scholars, student organization meetings (e.g., ACM ), program costs (e.g., scholarships and C-MAPP events), K-12 outreach, diversity efforts (both recruiting and retaining underrepresented students), and student projects. Half of the funding donated to Mines for C-MAPP goes to students via scholarships. For maximum ROI, C-MAPP opportunities can be combined with on-campus Career Center recruiting activities. Sponsor benefits for 2025-26 are listed below.
