The Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Foundation announced today that the University of Texas will hold the first Carter Academic Service Entrepreneur (CASE) grant program for virtual worlds. It's Second Life-focused, asking students to use the virtual world to serve real-world communities. One example given is using it to tutor local high school students. The CASE grant offers $1000 to support the project and a $500 scholarship at its completion. At UT-Austin, the competition will go hand-in-hand with with Mr. Joe Sanchez' course on "Working in a Virtual World."
"Our CASE grant model has proven extremely successful offline, this project will be a demonstration that community service can be a new horizon for online virtual worlds," said Foundation President Sue Sehgal.
