We’ve empowered students with the autonomy to host club meetings within their school, partnered with school organisations / faculty, supported and won a departmental league game which attracted thousands of students, developed our website alongside, open our various community channels, lastly, introduced engaging video courses derived from our meticulously crafted course material.

This is what we intend bringing to the Ethereum blockchain by creating a streamlined course material with the needed information students can use to build and grow in the web3 space.

Hi @hawwal! Thank you for your proposal but it does not follow the template needed outlined here so I cannot accept this proposal as is as it does not meet our eligibility criteria. Please amend it before the deadline to reflect the template and criteria if you wish to still be considered for GG20 in April.

It’s also unclear from your proposal whether you are applying for a round in GG20 as your duration is 5 months. Thanks so much!

Are you coming with matching funds? There is no minimum but you need to raise some funds yourself to be eligible. Matching funds can’t come from donations. Where are the other funds coming from and and how much are you raising?

  1. Please describe the eligibility criteria you envision for this proposed round.
    We fully understand the eligibility clauses from Gitcoin ad this project does not in any way or manner violates or the rules of engagement.

I’m also missing clear eligibility criteria for this round. You need to include those in your proposal to be eligible.

And just to make it super clear to the council who will reviewing and voting on rounds, I would only include what you intend to accomplish in the round in GG20. Or could you be more specific around what you’re trying to accomplish with a round in GG20 specifically? I understand your roadmap but I don’t yet see what the round in April will be driving forward.

Hi. We have reviewed the following proposal and information, and we will unfortunately not be accepting this proposal for GG20. There are other funding opportunities in the space that will be better suited for your needs that I suggest you check out! The Student Blockchain Club might a good option. Thanks again for your interest.
