If you are a high school student looking for the chance to be creative and innovative this is the opportunity for you! We’re even rewarding the top teams with over $10,000 in scholarships and prizes!

What is Impact Microcredit?

The concept is simple, we give you an $100 loan and 10 days to turn that into as much money as possible. We are challenging you to show us as much innovation and creativity as you can, so take risks and think outside the box. The best part is, all of the money you raise goes to a charity of your choice!

Why should you compete?

This is your chance to not only be an entrepreneur but to make a difference in your community. You are raising money for a charity of your choice, and on top of that you are also creating awareness for the charity and educating your community. Not only is Microcredit a great addition to your resume but there are over $10,000 in scholarships and prizes for the top teams! Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to learn and grow.
