Tormach and DIWire Grants Available to FIRST teams

[Vince]

The Educational Development and Stimulus Fund (EDSFUND) recently announced a grant program that may be of interest to lFIRST teams.

FRC Team 236 was previously funded by this organization to support an electric vehicle project.

The grant requires a match and the funds must be used for Tormach and DIWire equipment, both of which have been used by the FIRST community.

Having spoken with the fund organizer, I can assure FRC teams that the funding source is legitimate, the application process is creative, and the review/award process quick.

I thought I recognized Old Lyme High School as an FRC Team.
We just submitted for this last week and are crossing our fingers for the grant to help purchase a 770.
Thanks for your endorsement for the program.
