Become A Zero Shades® Campus Partner:
Collegiate Empowerment, in partnership with our agency partner, Neon Entertainment, is looking to expand and enroll Pennsylvania institutions of higher education as Zero Shades Campus Partners. During its inaugural year the Zero Shades Campus Partnership Project is specifically intended for PA based colleges and universities which have applied for the Governor’s It’s On Us PA Grant program. On March 13, 2018 The PA Department of Education announced the 39 post-secondary institutions across the state that will receive more than $950,000 in It’s On Us PA grant funding.
Any PA campus which applied for the grant can enroll as a Zero Shades campus partner regardless of funding. If you’re school was one of the 39 colleges (See list below) to receive the funding you are eligible to become a partner. AND at the same time, if your campus applied for the grant, yet did not qualify or you campus was unaware of the grant program and did not apply, don’t worry as your campus is still eligible to be a Zero Shades campus partner, as Collegiate Empowerment will provide matching funding and/or in-kind support, during this inaugural year of the project.
