Interledger Foundation seeks to nurture a talent pipeline of builders and advocates for inclusive digital financial systems by collaborating with educational institutions to inspire future leaders.

The grant, according to information available to Techeconomy, is aimed at adequately preparing tomorrow’s open-source, open-payment, and digital financial inclusion workforce.

To do this, Interledger Foundation are looking for educators in higher education institutions to build campus and classroom programs that expose students to emerging open payment technologies with the potential to disrupt the economic landscape.

Through such partnerships, Interledger will fund programs that will produce diverse pathways for undergraduate and graduate students, creating a future where people build fairer, inclusive, and interoperable payment networks.

Visit here to learn more about the Next-Gen Higher Education Grant and the work done by pilot initiatives with Bowie State University and the University of Cape Town. 

Through the Next-Gen Higher Education Grant, Interledger seeks to support projects with plans to:

  • Enable faculty to implement effective forward-thinking initiatives to enable digital financial literacy and inclusion.
  • Increase student engagement, interaction, and learning about open-payment technologies, open-source, and digital financial inclusion with a significant focus on the Interledger Protocol and related technologies.
  • Showcase career pathways in open payments, open-source, sustainable development, and the multi-disciplinary fintech space.

Interested universities must align the proposed initiative with their undergraduate or graduate departments of computer science, information technology, business, sustainable development, or related fields.

What You Need To Know
