The Lowery Institute Change Agent Tank was created for college students as a mechanism to mentor and fund initiatives that result in service to the community in a real and tangible way often impacting and aiding the community-at-large. In its 6^th year, students will compete in a “Shark Tank'' like process to earn up to a $10,000.00 grant to fund their initiative.

The Change Agent Tank has funded the creation of Mimi’s Pantry, a campus pantry serving students in Atlanta; Voice, a podcast; mentoring programs and events.

Through the Change Agent Tank, we aim to spark the entrepreneurial spirit of HBCU students nationally. We look for those individuals who seek to create programs or businesses that have the potential to solve community-based challenges. These individuals are willing to take on the risk and effort to create positive changes in society through their initiatives.
