$25k for exceptional individuals at life inflection points

There is no right or wrong way to answer these questions. We only ask for 100% transparency and authenticity from you.

It is helpful to us if you are specific about your goals and plans if you were to receive a TINT grant. But most importantly, we are interested in your genuine truth, not production value.

We won’t mislead you, so please don’t mislead us: the only automatic disqualifiers are if you lie to us or don’t tell us about important parts of your life.

We provided expectations of time to spend around each element of the video. Your entire video should be no more than 5 minutes long.

Please answer the following questions:

1. Tell us about yourself and your goals. Where would you like to see yourself 5 years from today?

2. What is one word that best describes you and why? <1 minute>

All videos are kept secure, private, and totally confidential within TINT. We will never release or use your video for any other purpose other than the application process. Videos from past application periods are destroyed.

Applications are open until Monday November 16. We will send you a text message about the status of your application by November 30.

Semi-finalists will have phone interviews, and finalist candidates will have in-person interviews in Boston, if logistically possible.

If you have applied previously, you can reapply after a six-month period. Applications will not be accepted if submitted within six months of your last application.

Saying this again for everyone in the back!

We want to see the genuine, authentic you. We do not expect *any* level of production or polish in your video. We specifically chose an application process reliant on video because we know that your authentic self will shine through. Turn on the camera, and say what you want to say. It won't be perfect, but it will be you, and that's what we care about.
