Wavemaker applications now being accepted

Applications for another round of the Wavemaker Fellowship program will be accepted by the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation through November 1, 2019.

In general, the Wavemaker Fellowship program provides a financial incentive for college graduates who are pursuing a career or starting a business in Rhode Island in technology, engineering, design, or certain other key sectors. The incentive, in the form of a tax credit, is intended to help defray the cost of student loan payments.

(Note: the application must be done in one sitting, so an applicant should gather all necessary uploads ahead of time.)
