NASA Robotics Education Project
Once again, NASA will be providing sponsorships to assist teams in developing self-sustaining FIRST programs in their local areas. These sponsorships cover the cost of one regional event registration ($5,000) and $1,000 for travel and materials. These sponsorships are targeted at new FIRST teams that need assistance in getting their program started within their local community.

NASA has announced the grant recipients for the 2004 FIRST Robotics Competition. For more information, see the 2003-2004 NASA Sponsorship Awards List on NASA's website.
