Application Process
Our goal is to make this application process as streamlined and simple as possible:
To apply for a $25k TINT grant, you will fill out this form and submit a video, made on your phone, answering the questions below. That’s it.
There is no right or wrong way to answer the questions in your video, but we do need 100% transparency and authenticity from you.
Please be specific about your goals and plans if you were to receive a TINT grant.
Most importantly, we are interested in your genuine truth, not production value. We won’t mislead you, so please don’t mislead us: the only automatic disqualifiers are if you lie to us or don’t tell us about important parts of your life.
Applications are open until Monday November 16. We will send you a text message about the status of your application by Monday November 30.
Semi-finalists will have phone interviews, and finalist candidates will have in-person interviews, if possible logistically.
If you have applied previously, you can reapply after a six-month period. Applications will not be accepted if submitted within six months of your last application.
Application Questions
We provided expectations of time to spend around each element of the video. Overall your video should be no more than 5 minutes long.
Saying this again for everyone in the back! We want to see the genuine, authentic you. We do not expect *any* level of production or polish in your video. We specifically chose an application process reliant on video because we know that your authentic self will shine through. Turn on the camera, and say what you want to say. It won't be perfect, but it will be you, and that's what we care about.
