How Panther Opportunity Hub Received $5,000 in Funding
Panther Opportunity Hub received first place and a $5,000 AI For Good Grant through the ITWomen AI For Good Challenge. The platform was created to make scholarships, internships, fellowships, conferences, and other life-changing opportunities easier to discover, especially for immigrant, international, first-generation, and underrepresented students.
This project began as a response to the barriers Ashley experienced while navigating opportunities as an immigrant and first-generation student. Through the 12-week AI For Good program, Panther Opportunity Hub received mentorship, product-development support, AI strategy guidance, pitch preparation, and feedback from industry professionals.
