Passion Project Material Stipend for Digital Fabrication
Do you have a digital fabrication endeavor you’d like to take on but can’t afford the materials? The Caleres Passion Project Fund is providing up to $500 toward materials for passion projects (not schoolwork) that students would like to research in digital fabrication.
This funding opportunity is open to all WashU students currently taking Sam Fox School courses.
