Founding sponsors include Ganjier, SUNY Niagara, Cannabis & Tech Today and a growing list of mission-aligned partners.

DaySavers will award one applicant a $1,420 scholarship to use towards their developmental goals in cannabis. Additionally, four winners will be selected for tickets to MJBizCon, the largest cannabis business conference in the world, and four winners will receive two tickets to major events throughout the country including CannaCon, Champs and NECANN.
