The Dell Social Innovation Challenge identifies and supports promising young social innovators who dedicate themselves to solving the world's most pressing problems. All university students are eligible to enter - it doesn't matter what school you attend or what you're studying. And you don't need a formal venture plan to enter. We accept everything from early-stage ideas to projects that are up and running. The DSIC was launched in 2007 by the RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2008 Dell became our title sponsor.
