Scholarship & Financial Aid
Supsindex feels responsible towards the ecosystem to approach all equally. Thus, we are committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent serious, promising founders of tomorrow’s ventures from accessing the tools for the assessment of soft skills that not only matter, but are decisive and, if overlooked, may cost the next loss of venture capital. We do not want capital scarcity to block that evidence.
Our Policy
Partner-Sponsored Scholarships
Supsindex entity partners — organizations such as accelerators, incubators, VCs, universities, or government bodies — may, at their will and according to their objectives, create scholarship frameworks over the available assessments of Supsindex indices or even their custom DI. As the partners own the scholarship program, they review applications, manage them, and fund the program. Partners can define their programs directly through their partner dashboard.
Supsindex-Managed Financial Aid
At Supsindex we administer direct programs for founders meeting specific eligibility criteria. We take specific consideration into account for founders whose nationality comes from “Least Developed Countries”, and also for founders or teams that have won a designated awards. Upon specific agreements with entity partners we may again grant financial aid under pre-defined frameworks. The last type is a case-by-case review, for those founders who demonstrate genuine need and high potential.
01 - How to Sponsor a Program
If your organization is an official “Entity Partner” and wishes to create a sponsorship program, here is a fast track on the process:
Definition:
The partner, within their dashboard, defines a named sponsorship program.
Selection:
The partner selects which assessments to sponsor (see available indices at Services & Pricing).
Management:
The partner manages and reviews applications submitted for their program.
Approval:
The partner decides to “Accept & Pay on Behalf” or “Reject” each applicant.
