It's scholarship time, tell us what you got!
 

It's the start of the spring Senior Class awards season.

In a week, STEMRobotics will announce the winner of the 2014 Alec Metzger Robotics Award, it's for $500.

We've all heard that there are millions and millions of dollars awarded to roboters from sponsors, colleges and universities. Tell us what you got! If you don't want to tell the dollar amount, tell us that you got *something*. I always try to do a pitch on "What is in it for Mom and Dad" and I always tell them about the scholarship money.

I got a full ride on the Army's Green to Gold ROTC scholarship at the University of South Florida to study Environmental Engineering. I technically start college Spring 2015 as an academic sophomore so I don't really know the monetary value of it, but I also have the $36k total Montgomery GI bill through my Reserve unit. All of this is due to my FIRST participation and the Army's involvement in FIRST in Florida. Heck without FIRST, I wouldn't have gotten the ASVAB or ACT scores needed to be an army engineer.
