Camp Zero

Camp Zero

For Students

Students building startups can join Camp Zero with a 75% scholarship, or apply to become a campus ambassador and host events or hackathons on campus.

Student path

Built for ambitious students who are already shipping. Not a campus club. A real residency with founders, accountability, and room to grow what you are building.

Three ways in

Scholarship, campus energy, or both

Pick the tracks that fit. Many applicants apply for the scholarship and also want to host or represent Camp Zero on campus.

75% scholarship

Qualified students join Camp Zero E-Residence at 75% off standard membership so you can build with the community without waiting for graduation.

Campus ambassadors

Represent Camp Zero on your campus. Bring builders together, share what you are shipping, and open doors for peers who want to start.

Host events & hackathons

Run meetups, build nights, or campus hackathons with Camp Zero backing. Turn your school into a place where startups actually ship.

Student scholarship

75% off membership

Approved students pay about $13 for founding lifetime access (normally $50), or about $24/year after founding seats fill (normally $97/year). Exact offer is confirmed when your application is reviewed.

What we look for

  • You are a student and actively building a startup or serious side project.
  • You show unfinished work, not just pitch-deck polish.
  • You want peers, accountability, and a place to ship after classes.
